Existence, One Click at a Time
Reminiscent of Godfrey Reggio's films of the 80s, Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi, Michael Shainblum employs stop-motion photography in Existence to contrast the natural and man-made worlds. It provides an opportunity to pause, if only for a moment, and ask ourselves where we have come from and where we are going. And perhaps even return to that childhood pleasure of simply gazing at the stars, so effectively evoked by the film.
