Diario Notturno 310

Si può morire o uccidere in nome di Dio quando il valore attribuito alla vita è il prezzo che si è pronti a pagare per disporre infinitamente del Tempo. Non trovo altre ragioni. Il modo migliore per influenzare qualcuno è corromperlo con l'illusione, promettendogli quello che non esiste o non è in suo potere. Ma siccome anche le idee estreme sono sotto la lente della Storia, la religione deve mentire sull'aldilà, perché se si diffondesse l'idea che l'eternità è una chimera, verrebbe meno la connotazione metafisica e ogni gesto compiuto in suo nome diventerebbe Politica.

Sagi alter and Reut Elad's graduation film from Bezalel Academy of art & design, Jerusalem 2014. The film illustrates a day in the life of an Israeli soldier during his service, located in the Palestinian territory. A local boy dressed as a bunny starts a chase that blurs the line between the pursuer and the pursued, between reality and imagination.

Money is not just currency. It is the most common piece of artwork. It represents our history, culture and mythology. Thus, it does not only appear as the material backbone of our civilization - it´s dialectic is that it constitutes and is being constituted by the way our civilization proceeds. If this is the case, our materialism is not only reflected by the very material that money is, the material itself reflects the very state our civilization is in. Money is durable, maybe timeless. Or is it not? Motion designer Christian Stangl wants to contest the apparent durability by speeding up the natural decay of the material by using various acids. Strangely these chemical processes, that ultimately result in total disaggregation bring unforeseen life to the material symbolization of our society. This music video of Strange Freedom´s Track „Hide“ was made of thousands of single microscopic photographies, merged together, creating a dramatic timelapse scenario.
