still from Red Desert 1964
Michelangelo Antonioni
Visual impact can be noted as the source of motion pictures. Compared to the vivid manipulation of ideas rolling onto a screen, much like Antonioni compiled in Red Desert. Hysteria and faded imagery of factories nearly blinding reality. In a fanasty we escape, only to find we are the eye watching distortion of reality bleed into our encompassed souls. This thought originates from what is not apparent, instead it is derived from bits and pieces sneaking into our individual minds.
Could this be brain-wash discoveries?
Or simply…our ideals of self blurred.
I shot a short video (link below) for a friend with many of these ideas in mind. Imagery being distorted and reflective relations emerging. Although my short is only a glimpse into the hyper-cyber interconnected world we live in. It is a step in hopefully discovering more of what lies beneath. Keep tune for the tracking of experimental progress.
