The Gap in the Time of the Pandemic
Following the short film Astronaut/2x2m the Gap in the time of the Pandemic is also a video poetry short film based on the slam poem The Gap in the Time of the Pandemic. The film has similar aesthetics like an Astronaut/2x2m with the theme which is not only a digital gap but also a gap in the living standards and other invisible boundaries in the time of the pandemic. Using the following quotes as inspiration for creating graphical shapes and symbolism.
"As soon as borders become differentiated and multiple once again - once they begin to constitute a grid ranging over the new social space, and cease simply to border it from the outside - then the alternative lies between an authoritarian, and indeed violent, intensification of all forms of segregation, and a democratic radicalism which has as its aim to deconstruct the institution of the border." Etienne Balibar "What is the border?"
"Principles of connection and heterogeneity: any point of a rhizome can be connected to anything other, and must be." Deleuze and Guattari "Thousand plateaus"
