SANCTITY
An experimental short created for and submitted to the Weltkunstzimmer 8. Urban Space Video Walk (2024).
*****
SANCTITY is a sentimental and philosophical exploration of what exists in between.
Inspection of the in-between of space itself invited a thought-stream and consequently uncovered the in-betweens of time, identity and presence.
The piece is a reflection, a discovery, a confession.
The poetic prose is set to the backdrop of film vignettes that appear as dream sequences, the footage of which were captured in various locations in Düsseldorf, Paris, and a crater in Iceland, with equally crude equipment and skill.

The writing, retrieval of recent, unpremeditated clips from my phone archive, relearning Da Vinci Resolve and the editing process were all accomplished in a few days from a burst of inspiration prompted by the theme described by the event organizers.
Everything was shot on an iPhone 13, audio recorded with the Voice Memo app.
No color correction but stock Resolve effects and transitions were used.
