FOG. AND THE WHOLE WORLD STOPS

Fog is the first video landscape from the series “And the Whole World Stops”. It is a visual exploration of our daily environment that we often assume predictable and mundane. It is a glance into today’s world where technology and culture interact with each other more then ever, which in consequence, shifts our perception of time and influences the way we navigate spaces, both physical and virtual. Its main objective is to help the viewer tune into a familiar landscape, notice its mechanism, become more aware of it and, eventually, perceive it from a new perspective. To be taken by surprise, experience the feeling of awe in our everyday life and take some time to contemplate and reflect. Often unnecessary noise takes away our focus and ability to see. But what happens when we slow down and take a look?
