Tides of Cashmere is a documentary-style experimental moving image that explores material flow and somatic memory. Tracing the origins of the Ordos cashmere industry, the camera focuses on the cashmere goats and the meticulous craftsmanship of sorting, washing, carding, spinning, and weaving. It brings to light the concealed labor ecology behind soft fabrics, capturing the tension and symbiosis among hands, bodies, and machines. Structured like a tide, the surging and receding imagery serves as a metaphor for the mechanical rhythms of the laboring body. By chronicling the life history of a single fiber, the work re-evaluates the hidden resonance between the human body and modern industrial systems.
