share“We live in a world of objects and a world of objects lives within us.”
Composed of over 1000 engravings from the 18th-19th century, Still Life is a meditation on objectivity and meaning. The film explores the idea that we live in a world of objects and a world of objects lives within us. Our evolved capacity to make sense of our environment has shaped our perceptual experience, demanding we divide the world into distinct intelligible “bytes”. As technology has propelled us through modernity and beyond, the objects in our life have become buried in layers of meaning, abstracted until our shared intersubjective experience has become our only sense of reality. Still Life takes a poetic approach to exploring these ideas using a series of prints that are as objective as they are beautiful. The film is an attempt to work with the set of objects as a sort of language, to tell a story of consciousness.
