Highly influential visual artist and filmmaker Thomas Campbell’s seminal surf films ‘The Seedling’, ‘Sprout’ and ‘The Present’ catalyzed a paradigm shift in the culture that redefined the very art of waveriding and the boundaries of surf cinema. Ten years in the making his latest audio visual masterpiece is set to do the same again.
YI-WO is a prayer, a habitual ritualistic gaze into the depths of the vast unknowable. YI-WO is a celebration of very purposely selected forms of the connective water sliding pursuits. It’s a poem, a place to be or not to be untangled. A space for your time, to possibly honour the practice, this existence and the paths potential dimensional expansive qualities.” Thomas Campbell
