Poetry Expo 24
A short film, somewhere between poetry, essay and post-humanism. How can we survive? How can we find a way out of the destructive utopia in which we are trapped?
We have to admit to ourselves that we have been living in a utopia for a long time. Our standard of living is built on exploitation, on the progressive, successively accelerating destruction of our livelihoods.
Some time ago, I started working on a short film that proposes a practice of conscious redemption. A way out of utopia.
For numerous reasons, I have NOT yet managed to complete the film. But since the conflicts are so pressing, I would still like to make the unfinished film accessible. I am at least aware of some weaknesses (technical, artistic, also argumentative). I am open to constructive criticism (I think), and at times I am even grateful for criticism.
In addition to the film, I would also like to make the associated research collection accessible, which is still in progress.
