REEALITY : 🌲 Over the past half a year I have been circling around a thought and ultimately what that means for (my) reality, experiences, feelings, happiness. I was fascinated by the philosophical question that is inspired by Irish Philosopher Charles Berkeley and that came to live in a publication called “The Chautauquan“ in 1884: If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? The approaches of that thought experiment are all valid and it is fun to play around with it. I took it a bit further and thought about the reality, the realness and the fakeness of today’s world, especially online and what it does to the perception. Like for example, does an experience loose value if it is not shared on a social network or if the reactions you get there are not as expected? I have been twisting that thought around especially on vacation when I try to not be so much on my phone, or, like in this case, just use it as a camera. This is the result: A visualised thought written by me, inspired by a very old yet very modern question, inspired by the mountains I was partially raised in, by Moby, by Christopher McCandless, by Dante and Lotte and many other things and people. I did not film the images after the voiceover was done, but simply filmed with my iPhone when I felt something and then matched those experience s to my thought. I hope you enjoy it.
