SEAING/HEREING
Seaing/Hereing is an experimental film/sound art duo creating expanded cinema performances and multidisciplinary installations. The themes of our work are driven by our neurodivergent experience of heightened and altered visual and audio perception. Through flicker and psychedelic film, surrealist poetry, and modified field recordings, our work explores sensory connections to a sense of home among the South West landscapes and seascapes, rediscovering neurodivergent relationships to nature, objects, and spaces.

Sam and Patrycja’s collaborative process of gathering materials in altered states of intense sensory absorption, and editing within experimental structures, draws on an interplay of their neurodivergent perception with avant-garde, poetic, and structural flicker film.
The soundtracks are often created solely from modified field recordings on the sites of filming, and explore relationships with nature, landscapes, and objects which we form through our senses, beyond logical and linear thought.
