Fascinating Moments

Yoshiki Nishimura / Japan / 2014 / World Premiere / 4 min.

synopsis

The unguided choreography of white points in black space reflects the quiet and chaos of falling snow in an almost indistinguishable blending of the real and the virtual, where a shot of an actual snowstorm is replaced by images of digitally created flakes. Scenes of calm alternate with into dense clouds running in all directions and the repeated disintegration into white elementary particles.

DETAIL:
Meticulously composed images of snowflakes stuck to the lens reveal the presence of real snow.
