TUNNEL VISION:UNDERGROUND FILMS BY RA

"In 2010 Mesinai became obsessed with researching and recording the acoustics of ancient subterranean tunnels. In 2012, equipped with sound recording devices, speakers, percussion and cameras, co-produced, Jonathan Uliel Saldhana, camera man, Josz Roseira, percussionist, Gustavo Costa, and Raz Mesinai, went deep inside one of the oldest underground mines in all of Europe, dating back thousands of years. After descending hundreds of feet beneath the earth, they began to encounter paranormal sounds, which they spent weeks recording, until one night they found themselves lost in the underground labyrinth, surrounded by mysterious sounds and no way out. Incorporating footage, and sound recordings from his underground expeditions, Raz Mesinai blurs the line between reality and fiction, creating a dream like narrative of darkness at its darkest."
