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 in the streets of Taiwan and later reworked the footage in the studio into a multi-layered experience. Let's 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.
Must see. Scooter Zen for relaxation.
