While searching for references for a falling sequence i realised just how many cases of deadly confrontations with gravity there are. It was fascinating to see all these characters face the omnipresent force and often just vanish in the abyss. So fascinated in fact that i began to gather and pack them in a short and dense new context that unmasks the prototypical construct of a fall in film. I created an perceptual threshold, trying to show just as much as one needs to understand what’s happening and simultaneously telling a new tale by merging all these falling individuals into one.

"Wenn im Kampf mit der Schwerkraft der Sog in die Tiefe überhand gewinnt, beginnt die Reise in den Abgrund. Eine audiovisuelle Studie des filmischen "Fallens" stellt die Grenzen der Wahrnehmung auf die Probe."

"Embark on a mesmerizing study of falling in film, defying perception's limits as gravity pulls us into the abyss"
