Every day is one more day, one more baby, one more car, one more house, one more bottle. I’m a human I live in NYC and I’m always in a rush. I try to recycle and I used to have compost bin… Almost every day, I’ll buy something, could be lunch, water, coffee…. can’t live without coffee. All great and delicious, but every moment that goes by, is one more piece for the puzzle. Our shadow of consumption just helps the mountain grow. Around me are people walking like robots connected through their cell phones. They always go and eat outside because there is not time to stop or cook. They stop every second for a coffee because there is no energy anymore. Empty bottles, cups, plastic container just become one more layer of the noisiness of this unfriendly city.

Recontextualization- 1st assignment

This is the first assignment for my frame-by-frame class. I have to do a Re-contextualization of an image. I reviewed the links that Chris (the teacher) posted on the class site and I got a bit exited. I’m one hundred percent opposed to any method of torture and I though this as a great excuse to play with feelings, objects, sound and images. This is a one-week assignment and it has some mistakes but I though I’d give it the try to play with the juxtaposition of words, found footage and dramatic soundtrack.
