"We lost our phone" (a music video for Zea + Oscar Jan Hoogland)
Stop-motion music video by Dominika Łabądź and Jakub Majchrzak to the “We lost our phone” song from the album "SUMMING" of Zea + Oscar Jan Hoogland. Each frame was prepared and printed in Riso technique and further photographed and edited.
Both the clip and the lyrics refer to the crisis of communication in contemporary social and political reality. Its dimension is both geopolitical and human. We have lost count of time, space and language perspective. Paradoxically, in the era of the greatest technological growth, which enables us to establish communication in any latitude, even in space, we have lost the ability to communicate.
At the borderline, caused by the blurred fiction and truth categories, We direct our gaze against each other instead towards the power.

Muzyczna animacja poklatkowa autorstwa Dominiki Łabądź i Jakuba Majchrzaka do utworu We lost our phone z albumu "SUMMING" Zea + Oscar Jan Hoogland. Każda klatka została przygotowana i wydrukowana w technice Riso, a następnie sfotografowana i poddana montażowi.
Zarówno klip jak i tekst utworu nawiązują do kryzysu komunikacji we współczesnej rzeczywistości społecznej i politycznej. Ma to wymiar geopolityczny, ale i międzyludzki. Straciliśmy rachubę czasu, przestrzeni i perspektywy języka. Paradoksalnie w dobie największego wzrostu technologicznego, który umożliwia nam nawiązywanie łączności w każdej szerokości geograficznej, a nawet w kosmosie, straciliśmy zdolność komunikowania się.
Zacieranie się kategorii fikcji i prawdy powoduje, że w obliczu stanu wyjątkowego, w sytuacji piętrzących się kryzysów tracimy zdolność porozumiewania się ze sobą i w punktach granicznych zamiast kierować wzrok ku władzy, kierujemy go przeciw sobie nawzajem.
