A small section of an artificial pond at a Metro Manila mall, shot two years apart. One is a phone video taken by chance in January 2020, prompted by the discovery of what looked like a pendant or earring sunken among the fish, far from the edge of the water. How or why it got there I could only imagine.
I passed through the area again in 2022 when lockdowns had lifted, and noticed that the atrium had re-opened, the pool populated by noticeably different fish. The second video is a restaging — a simulation in a different fidelity — of the original low-res document of an inconsequential mystery.
