Concept
What is our reality?
What is the reality of certain others?
What kind of imagined or virtual worlds are we running to, and to what are they?
The inspiration for this video work I find in growing alienation I feel about life chained with physical existence.
Through this work, I ask myself what kind of existence do I aspire to. I wonder what would I miss from the physical world if I existed only as an energy cluster.
In the end, I wonder, if there are beings who live only as energy clusters which virtual realities such beings strive to and what are their screensavers?
Where do such beings wish to escape to?
