I AM LED BY PAST WATERS is a filmic and historical investigation of the reclaimed landscapes of Rødby Fjord in Lolland. The thesis looks into the experiential potentials of the film camera and the affective action of filmmaking, emphasizing the qualities of the modern landscapes of Rødby Fjord as well as the historical traces and deep structures of the former inlet. The thesis offers an insight to the new coastal zone of Rødby Fjord though five filmic notations stating a sense of neglect and disorientation of the past inlet identity. Through a comparative study of orthophotos, onsite registrations and historical mappings of Rødby Fjord from 1889 the thesis unfolds traces of the former coastal zones from which a strategic proposal of a connected pathway through the historical and the present landscapes of Rødby Fjord evolves.
