Movement
The history of Human Beings as always been accompanied by a continuous movement between freedom and control, a never ending cycle.
This sequence of 6 imaginary and bleak atmospheres communicate the intricate relationship of censorship and control and the long-standing disengagement of western countries with the rest of the world.
An immense empty atmosphere, obscure and tenebrous with a lost ruin. An int of civilisation that was wiped out, living a few fragments of what it was once.
Even though they are imaginary landscapes they represent today’s shadow of inequalities, wickedness and inhuman morals of mankind, trying to bring questions to those who observe them.
Exploring human rights violations, state secrets, the problem of data and the inactivity of countries to help one another.
