Time Snail
Music by Philip Glass: Koyaanisqatsi (organic)

Our environment, absorbed in images transcending at great speed, causes amongst other things, a sobriety of the creative-imaging mind.
At the same time, the ability to know when to dive deeply into the moment flashing by, stopping the inflation of images and focusing only on this specialm longed for moment the moment in which the flow of time stops and recycles into a memory, is also hurt.

In the video work, there appears on the screen a sort of raw magme of snails, moving in a way barely seen or noticed. This is in fact a metaphor dealing with life's rhythm and its different ingredients ; indensity, a feeling of distance, speed, slowness – slowing down….

In other words, the form of observing in which time is flattened, monotonous, lacking lyrics, almost without action – regardless of an awarkened internal life, is actually the protocol of banality. The snails horns that have eyes at their ends are also activated in a slow motion forwards and backwards. The are a realization of what Freud wanted to express when he connected the sight and the action of sensing, whilst attempting to sample the outside world.
