what the silence of a mountain looks like
40 sec film, 2024
Vilnius Art Academy
a snowy peak, maybe,
how to listen to the unlistenable,
how to hear the unheard,
and if a tree falls in the forest
do you hear it fall
if you are not there?
words and silences,
silence cut-outs,
letter cut-outs,
and just like that, in fragments -
the sun never sets while we are here"
The piece is about a place I hadn't been to at the time, and had yet to go to in the future. I leaned on the fruits of my subconscious using automatic writing and a kind of poetry, as well as fragments and cut-outs of places I had already visited for the visuals and sound. The sound is smoothed out and joined by the dreamy notes of the synthesizer.
