Our memory is very fragile and we are easily forgotten about important parts of our existence. The artist in the video “Memories of the Present” wants to show and recall the spirit of the time. We start not reading, not seeing, not feeling. Data about our lives are written somewhere in the clouds. We can imagine them as virtual images with an infinite number in abstract space. Our thoughts and secrets are hidden in the virtual net. It is a visual meditation, a contrast between subtle visual and hypnotizing noise music. Last year was a challenge for everybody, there is a spirit of isolation. The woman’s identity remains secret at this time. We feel her existence, but we don’t see her face. At the end of the video she is in the wire of her memories. Slow motion of the video flow in infinite space. 3D animation shows the subtlety and fragility of the present. The video is inspired by the Baroque and its dramatic lighting in the drapery. Let our imagination grow, feel, dream, hypnotize, but don’t forget the Present.
