plonc. Studio Films
A collection of films exploring material poetics, surface memory, and the philosophy of making. Each film is paired with a written Journal entry - a quiet dialogue between image and thought.
Facing Surfaces
In dialogue with Bruno Latour
A short film exploring how surfaces speak - how matter reaches back.
Inspired by Bruno Latour, this film explores the ontology of surfaces - what lies between matter and meaning.
plonc. Studio — Fire Memory (Journal No. 3)
(Duration: 9 min 08 sec)
Fire Memory continues plonc. Studio’s reflection on material consciousness, tracing how fire, as both origin and destroyer, writes itself into the memory of surfaces.
Filmed as a single, uninterrupted reflection - seated over a wooden table, this film explores how heat, ash, and time converge in the design process.
It’s not about inspiration. It’s about remembering what materials already know.
