Everything happens now

Experimental animation that unites the fluidity of human movement with the rich sonic layers of voices and noises, creating a multisensory experience that transcends temporal linearity. The animation presents dynamic overlays of various people in motion, symbolizing the interconnection between past, present and future.

The predominant presence of children in the images serves as a powerful symbol of the continuity of human experience and draws a parallel between memories of the past and hopes for the future, questioning how the legacy of each generation resonates in the present time.

Audio is captured in multiple languages and the sounds are intentionally chaotic and overlapping, evoking the idea that everything happens simultaneously, in a constant flow of exchange and transformation.
