A tittle spark in the dark. FUTURE // NOW presents itself in the form of hints, a reflective play of colors in which much remains hidden. For a brief moment, the video provides an insight into a rapidly changing sequence of images in which a mixture of meaning and irrelevance, coincidence and intention takes place.
Where is the gaze directed? To the possibilities offered by the future, to fragmentary memories of past moments in life, to the emerging present?
In this constellation of fleeting snapshots, a loose totality is formed. It is up to the viewer to read a structure or meaning from it–if it calls for one at all.
For FUTURE // NOW, KOLLEKTIV BETON used video material from the collective pool. The three-minute loop was created with modern control technology from Superposition. Thomas Baumann produced the music and sound design.
