BECAUSE THE SKY IS BLUE

by Wenhua SHI new filmmaker
2020 / 35mm / color / sound / 1S / 4' 00

Muybridge captured the galloping horse one hundred forty years ago in a brief 12 frames. The duration of today's social media video clips is similar to Muybridge's brevity. Wenhua tries to reimagine what subject Muybridge would capture today. All source footage is from Wenhua's social media feed. He used the cyanotype method to reprint the individual frames to create the final short videos.
