It All Burned… is a piece by Pardes Rimonim (aka Chicago-artist Helena Ford) heavily influenced by ecological and genocidal destruction, as well as the esoteric cinematography of Tarkovsky’s masterpiece, Stalker (1979). The piece is intended to be a direct confrontation of the destructive power of ignorance, fueled by the lust of capitalistic fervor. Composed of dense frequencies and textural noise, It All Burned And Was Light, But it Wasn’t Enough (Notes from An Elephant Foot) is meant to emulate nuclear power plants and environmental decay through oscillation, distortion, and modulation of static tones/noise. Pardes Rimonim is a direct reference to a text from Kabbalah of the same name (Orchard of Pomegranates) by 15th Century Jewish mystic, Moses ben Jacob Cordovero and, as a primary text of Kabbalah, concerns itself with the nature and doctrine of the sefirot. Unfortunately, the text was later eclipsed by the works of Issac Luria in diametric opposition to Cordovero’s rational-based approach to the Zohar. Although the project is named for the author’s interest in Judaic mysticism, Pardes Rimonim and its performer is explicitly anti-Zionist and approaches the material through an Anarchist & Absurdist lens.
