The final film in the trilogy extends the investigation to landscapes and geometry. Shot across Florida, Cape Cod, Connecticut, and New York, the film focuses on the geometry of vistas where nature meets industry. Landscape shots juxtapose with footage of bodily harm: cuts, bruises, damage to skin. A cut across a thigh match-cuts with a horizon line bisecting the frame. Both are artificial impositions onto forms that resist categorization. The editing builds through echoing geometry, revealing how binary divisions function identically whether applied to bodies or landscapes. There are no right angles in nature; every straight line is violence.
