A Brief Inquiry is a film about the sublime and its use in our everyday vernacular. Since the world has already been discovered, an explorer goes off to find the only thing that is left, an emotion called “the sublime”. The film’s voiceover is rich in theory and hysterical commentary describing the overuse and misunderstanding of the word "sublime" while visually driven by an ongoing quest for an overwhelming natural experience.
This book shows still images from the film with essay’s by AKAG Curator Holly Hughes, and by Joshua Reiman.
48 pages with color illustrations.
