Scooter Zen from Japan

Created by Dietrich Limper at 14:12 on December 8, 2021

The short film "Metaverse" by Japanese director and filmmaker Hiroshi Kondo makes a swarm out of individuals that seem to move willy-nilly in one direction. Individual scooter riders dissolve, many faces become one and big city life becomes a meditative experience. Accompanied by a hypnotic soundtrack by DJ Hi-C, this short film unfolds its very own maelstrom. Kondo shot on the streets of Taiwan and later reworked the material in the studio into a multi-layered experience. Let him speak in his own words:

A crowd moving in one direction. People who flow in a moment.
A scene where the difference with other people disappears and looks uniform.
There are many different kinds of life there.
You can feel invisible energy when you see a large mass of individuals.

I set myself in the Streets of Taiwan, and I multilayered a lot of time to create a new timeline that reflects individuals.

A must-see. Scooter Zen for relaxation.
