Black

Belgium 2015 / 5’
experimental

Black refers to black as the core component of the visual and is an ode to darkness. When the lights go out, the auditorium and the screen become one in a boundless space. The screen, the auditorium and the audience share a sudden invisibility. An experience at once personal and collective.
