Chemical Meadows is an experimental documentary linking water chemistry and photochemistry in the post-industrial wilds of the New Jersey Meadowlands.
Much of this footage was washed in the actual waterways filmed, revealing decades of chemical contamination in speckles of anomalous light and corroded emulsion.
