Ontology of media film series
2020 Trailer for "Fragments"
Ten years of memories in 12 countries merged in a 6-minute visual essay can never truly define our true selves. Despite the years of acquiring terabytes of information through our lenses, I always ask these questions:
"Are these memories mere synthetic truth?"
"Will they last?"
"And who are we in this digital overload of information?"
Some inspiring truths to dwell on "Fragments."
"Amid the media overload, who are you?"
"Are these memories mere synthetic truth?"
"Will they last?"
"And who are we in this digital overload of information?"
Some inspiring truths to dwell on "Fragments."
"Amid the media overload, who are you?"
"Fragments" is a visual essay on the idea of self captured through the lens through the memories embedded in the film grains and pixels.
But questions remain.
