About the video
In 2025 Joseph worked in Western Australia and travelled through six more countries either side of it, filming as he went. This is the year cut down to 34 shots, from the first airport to the last sunset, each one held for under two seconds.
It’s built the way a reel should be: shots, not wandering takes. Something moves through every frame, the drone shots say where you are, and the edit ends on a face, not a view. This version uses the natural sound from each place; the social cut gets its music from the platforms’ own libraries.
Stills from the trip are in the On the road, 2025 collection.
Transcript
No speech. Natural sound from each place: a fight crowd, waves, traffic, trains and the sea.
