FIFTEEN MINUTES OF SUBLIME MEDITATION

Fifteen Minutes of Sublime Meditation was made as a response to being in lockdown in the winter of 2020 – 21. It is made of stock images that flow like forms of compulsive saturation and repetition, generating a flattening of information that ends up losing any relationship to scale or hierarchy. The film sets up a contradiction through the discrepancy between sound and image; on the one hand a narrator who leads a guided meditation, asks the body to let one’s thoughts merely exist without trying to delete them, on the other the image shows anxiety as universal acid, taking us into a digitally psychodelic trip. All phenomena radiate from the nature of the mind; networks appear ungraspable as the speed of raw data paradoxically causes mental paralisis and the pace of the image surges through concentric temporalities. Everything is happening all the time.
