TIME 4D PROJECT
I researched a lot, things like Einstein's theory of
relativity, how time can be controlled, even how time can be travelled.
Eventually, I crawled back to my passion for philosophy. Nietzsche's theory of
Eternal Reoccurrence, in a nut shell is idea that everything we do now, we have
done and will do again. "The Gay Science" is one of Nietzsche's most
personal works, collecting not only his philosophical reflections but also a
number of poems, aphorisms, and songs.
Nietzsche's philosophy is concerned with questions about
freedom, action, and will. In presenting the idea of eternal recurrence, he
asks us not to take the idea as truth but to ask ourselves what we would do if
the idea were true. He assumes that our first reaction would be utter despair:
the human condition is tragic; life contains much suffering; the thought that
one must relive it all an infinite number of times seems terrible.
I began to think through about his ideas and tried to explore
what comes up for me and what I have seen being repeated. I based this film on
characters that show Greed, Narcissism and Rage. The whole 2 minutes were rounded
down from 20 minutes of footage. All filmed in my leg, which includes one
person screaming, another covering herself with lipstick and another eating a
carrot. Believe it or not the carrot has some meaning. Ancient Egyptians and
Greeks saw the carrot as an aphrodisiac which shows greed can like with sexuality.
I used premier pro for the filters and the flashing lights but used IMovie to
actually overlap the clips and include the sounds in the background.
