Caldera teaser
CALDERA is an animated short film inspired by individuals struggling with psychotic disorders, and venerates the brilliant minds forged in the haunted depths of psychosis.
The story follows a young girl who goes off her medication and leaves a bleak metropolis to immerse herself in a vibrant oceanic cove. Ultimately, the story is about the young girl’s impossible predicament, where she can not live in either the fantastical and haunting world of psychosis or in the marginalizing society that mandates her medication.
Script excerpt:
She is already transforming. Her skin is glowing, falling apart, and pieces of her shirt are floating weightlessly in the air. She looks down at herself splitting apart at the seams.
Light pours out of her and collects in between her extended hands.The imagery is so compelling. I like that from what you can see of the teaser, it’s not a simplistic good or bad depiction of psychosis. Interested in seeing the full movie.
This looks absolutely amazing. The colours, concepts, and soundtrack are beautifully crafted. It’ll be amazing to see which types of psychosis they decide to go with~
Uhm wow. That is definitely something I will be checking out! The imagery is gorgeous and the contrasts are so striking and beautiful.
STUNNING
Holy cow, it’s really beautiful
“Hey. Do you know this flower? It’s a lotus. It’s born from mud, pointing upward heaven. A flower that blesses the world.”
GLaDOS really is very lonely, and robots will never be enough.
Hey. Don’t just scroll past. Come back and watch this. You need it more than you know.
holy shit.
the time out of your day to watch this will not be wasted, I assure you.
If you are depressed, self-harming, suicidal, or have/are being bullied, please watch this and share it so everyone can see!
Too fucking much
can i just
…
This animation really is uttermost beautiful and sad at the same time…
worth a read.
Marina Abramović, “Rhythm 0,” 1974
Marina Abramović is best known for her performance pieces, in which she tries to explore what is possible for an artist to do in the name of art. Her best known piece was the recent “The Artist Is Present,” in which she sat motionless for 736.5 hours over the course of three months, inviting visitors to sit opposite her and make eye contact for as long as they wanted. So many people began spontaneously crying across from her that blogs and Facebook groups were set up for those people.
Her bravest piece, however, is my favorite. This piece was primarily a trust exercise, in which she told viewers she would not move for six hours no matter what they did to her. She placed 72 objects one could use in pleasing or destructive ways, ranging from flowers and a feather boa to a knife and a loaded pistol, on a table near her and invited the viewers to use them on her however they wanted.
Initially, Abramović said, viewers were peaceful and timid, but it escalated to violence quickly. “The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation.”
This piece revealed something terrible about humanity, similar to what Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment or Stanley Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, both of which also proved how readily people will harm one another under unusual circumstances.
This performance showed just how easy it is to dehumanize a person who doesn’t fight back, and is particularly powerful because it defies what we think we know about ourselves. I’m certain the no one reading this believes the people around him/her capable of doing such things to another human being, but this performance proves otherwise.
as if depression is something that can be remedied by any of the contents found in a first aid kid
Please take a moment to watch this. A video has not moved so as strongly as this since that really popular Charlie Chaplin video that went around.
This video is for very personal reason is beautiful in so many ways.and if you just randomly see this on your dash whether you dealt with depression years ago, months ago, or maybe it’s a daily battle or maybe you never had to fight it at all I urge you to watch this.
Sitting at my desk on a day when I’m feeling deeply mediocre, sobbing, telling myself there’s something out there that I’m better at than anybody else and once I find it I will never be ignored or left out again.
And crying.
And this is why I’m such a firm believer in taking those names and words away. Because they are wrong and we can make it right. No one deserves to have terrible words sit on their shoulders like lead weights. So lets turn them into feathers and blow them away. Well all have the strength, some more than others, and I will always hope those who are stronger will help the lesser find their ground so they can help the next.
