Soundtrack to Life

Evocative and monumental or achingly suspense soaked!

This great little video from Michiko Nitta captures an idea that has been buzzing about in my mind since a conversation with Ben Hammersley about the future of super luxury shopping in the time when on and offline let face it really don't belong as two separate words. I might even stop using the word 'online' I'm not sure what it's replacement is though!

The original idea was closer to the movie soundtrack that allowed you to play through location based gaming with what your future might feel like alongside the 'luxury item' that you were pondering to purchase. This however has resurfaced the idea...video available at from http://www.michikonitta.co.uk/ and currently in the exhibition http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/1080

Sounds from a life teetering on the edge

 

'I'm telling you about life and you are not listening.'

A short film exploring the delicate difference between people; between living and life.

It's a special kind of people that stay true to this trail, who search for something that perhaps, cannot be found. Eyes and ears that are not distracted by a call from the masses. They are the people who sometimes fall over the edges. But in teetering so close to that edge they see and understand something differently. We all would perhaps be wiser, if we can find a way to listen to these minds talk, and step closer to saying;

'I have no regrets; I was looking for something really hard to find.'
