Electrostatic

Title

Electrostatic

Description

"Electrostatic" is a mesmerizing one-shot motorbike journey through the vibrant streets of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The film immerses viewers in a continuous, uninterrupted sequence that transcends linear time, creating a rich sensory experience that responds dynamically to color of the lived spaces and enveloping darkness surrounding them. In an era dominated by continuous 24 hour light, "Electrostatic" explores the power of color and light enhanced by the absence of light that are woven into the night time streetscapes of the city.

This film, illuminated by ever-present shop lights, celebrates the presence and absence of light as a realm of the unknown and the unpredictable. It creates a space that challenges the rational illuminated world by inviting viewers to consider the surrounding darkness. Developed in collaboration with sound artist Thierry Bernard, "Electrostatic" combines evocative visuals and immersive soundscapes to draw the audience into a contemplative exploration of light, color, and the enigmatic beauty of the night time city.
