Genesis
Bright shapes appear more
and more out of a dark background. These initial blurred mosaics or pictures
try to come out on top. They want to get visible. What does it mean? What is
this film trying to insinuate us? The music which accompanies the film is not
necessarily a haunting melody. The sound of this music does reflect the origins
of our nature in the water, the water which represents the source of our life.
The rhythm of life under water seems to develop very slowly.
This film material shows us
after twenty seconds a kind of passage from the world of mosaics into the world
of the cell bodies.
In which century is this
happening? And what is the occasion of these mosaics? It appears to be deep in
the ocean where life begun and established in all fields and areas. The
swashing water can be recognized on the surface of the water. Life is
developing under the swashing water. Now the film is taking more shapes. What
kind of place is this exactly? Is this film really taken in the ground of the
ocean or is this simply a place where films are wound and rewound? Does
something like this even still exist today?
Is it some kind of natural or even spiritual
power of the nature from where life comes into being? Is it a scientific
documentary film that captured a piece of history? Is it a history which shows
us how life began under water and comes out of it and scattered on the ground?
Maybe this film wants to
show us an old history which seems to be forgotten by humans. Maybe it is a
story which should be remembered all the time because it is so fundamental for
the existence of humans and also because they tend to forget those little things that embossed us.
What is the deeper meaning of this film construction?
I wonder if this film could
also be described as a circle of life that never ends. Is it a kind of life
reproduction?
It reminds me of the Old
Testament where God ordered to all his creatures to populate and multiply
themselves in the entire world.
The most valuable and
unique thing that we humans do possess is our life that God once breathed into
us. This aspect of life can be combined with this film, which role it is to
keep the history of origins always in our mind.
