Post Hypnosis (video, 2:14)
Post Hypnosis
The Sun, though always present, our perception and experience of its presence is cyclical and changes as we move in space and time. This phenomena is mirrored in the functions of the mind: the birth of a new thought, reoccurring emotions, and the way our perceptual experiences are dependent on our physical placement and surroundings. In "Post Hypnosis", the hallucinatory use of sunrise and sunset harnesses their universal allure to tempt, transfix, and transport. Paired with visceral sound and emanating from a material world, their audacious and fleeting presence mimics the human emotional state. A once reliable and familiar light makes looping, intermittent appearances instead. (Sound created by David Dominique)
