THE TONGUE AND THE MIST
Experimental Multiscreen Video Installation about the concept of internal void in relation with modern society. Our protagonist is trying to escape from the dark emptiness inside him by relocating his soul into this parallel universe. This spiritual journey is guided by a mystic child figure allowing him to rediscover the real pure world, helping him find his inner stillness through his five prime senses.
The video installation will be using multiple screen to improve the visual experience, breaking the space between the viewer and the film. There will be a sensation of losing yourself between space and time, we want the viewer to go through the protagonists journey too. The looping edit makes sure that there is always a new version of the story, which makes the experiences every time more immersive and surprising.
