Quentin Lind

A Map So Big It Blocks the Sun is a new film by Quentin Lind, taking its name from Jorge Luis Borges' On Exactitude in Science, a short story in which an empire builds a 1:1 scale map in pursuit of the perfect cartography. Using this text as a starting point, Lind maps a space for ritual magic in an environment darkened by dry rationalism. Taking cognisance of gothic literature, moments of the past intrude upon the present and time stands still.
