Chlorine, 2023
Film
Williams his childhood summers in southern Spain with his Spanish family, through this personal experience by swimming pools and in waterparks where vast quantities of water were situated next to desert, piped down from the North. The water made undrinkable by the large amounts of Chlorine added to it, however, paradoxically safe to swim in. Chlorine examines our changing relationship with water. Shot using drones, 8mm and digital media, it tells of a tension between abundance and scarcity, necessity and indulgence. Showing images of landscapes created for the containment of water and abandoned developments built for the pursuit of leisure in water the film shows these landscapes at various states of use.
