In this calmly moving, experimental seaside panorama, the industrial landscape of Tata Steel looms. With colours that steadily turn more distressing, as if we look through the eyes of a mythological snake.
The stately rotating camera and time-lapse images reveal a grand panorama, in which the North Sea coast and dunes slowly make room for the beautiful but ominously technological landscape of Tata Steel. In the process, sober realistic black and white gradually changes into an alarming palette, reminiscent of the 'false colours' of NASA/ESA satellite images that are normally used to detect things like forest fires, deforestation and the health of crops. Furthermore, the filmmaker was inspired by the fact that birds and snakes can see colours invisible to humans. Could this be the way the winged snake from the title observes the world?
