Life is a Story - Scottish Episode
Life is a Story – Scottish episode it is a collection of many signals resulting
from various situations in life, from daily behaviors, through passions to abstract
gestures. I believe that I work universal subject like life from born to dead.
I used green color because it is color of nature and energy.
I prepared 22 pictures looped lasting 2min. 15sec.,
which are referring to the images of our ordinary life.
Some have more senses and symbolism, other are simple observations
often in slow-motion.
All pictures have individual sound. Construction of 22 pictures are;
First part is different female mouths which are telling story by spitting out glass ball.
Inside this ball we have separate stories. Fe;/ a girl and a boy, a dog or a cat, a mother with child, or nature like palm, a sea, and also abstract element like oscillator or a metronome./
After this individual stories, we comeback to a similar or a some glass ball,
which rolling around. Scottish episode it is a Scottish pipe – player who is a guide
or a narrator in my story.
