"Alleviated Stress" investigates the pulsating aspects of land, land use and the fragments of different actors intertwined in the temporal sphere of two different dimensions of time. Centered around a small portion of dry edges surrounding the Great Salt Lake, the film articulates the margins of an area where a new state prison is being erected: the old floodplain, dryness, sinking, prison construction, an old dump, automobiles, a plane, people, pronghorn, seagulls, vegetation and signage.
