Fire Through Dry Grass

A literal and abstract take on the spring season, Abi Palmer documents translating spring into a cat-accessible format for her indoor cats. The film’s voiceover, written and narrated by Palmer, serves as a love letter to Palmer’s cats and the climate, culminating in a playful meditation on disability, climate, and life that can’t talk back. "Light" is the third film in the series "Abi Palmer invents the Weather,” chronicling Palmer’s year-long process of performing the outside world for her indoor cats. Image alt text: A black and white cat peers through a hole in a wooden box. Inside the box are plants with small green leaves, and a mini disco ball hangs from above.
