During lockdown I started an experiment, filming each full moon for a year. I also tried to ‘understand’ lunar science but whatever books I read I couldn’t seem to hold the facts in my head. Instead, each month I was surprised by the things I observed directly – a fingernail sliver moon, a punch hole in the sky. Because the repetition of that act of filming meant I noticed both consistency and changes – clear nights, cloudy nights, masked moons, moving moons. Filming made me stop and look. A vital reminder: it’s the looking that matters.
