An examination of concrete’s hydrological infrastructure.

Filmed across across four sites: the canalised Nihonbashi River in Tokyo, the ornamental Ljubljanica Sluice Gate in Ljubljana, the stepped Cotter Dam spillway near Canberra, and a concrete-lined stormwater channel at Flemington Road in Canberra, Motion in Division uses fixed-framed methods to visualise how the four hydrological structures organise the timing of flow, accumulation, and release.

Slowness and stillness concentrate attention on how concrete governs time by staging delays, cycles, and feedback between water and structure. Cinematic attention becomes a method of holdings focus on concrete as a temporal operator that regulates intensity through flow, rhythm, and form.
