The Portal

The Portal

One traveller leaves, the other remains.

Remember (time waits for no-one)

Still frames from the video - part of The Sonosphere project

Visualising the unconscious mind at play - the positive and negative altered state 

Both left and right want to synthesise, to merge together in a fusion of thought and 

feeling, of logic and dance, a confusion of coalescence, a flirtation with fusion.

A Mucha-like aureole, a stereoscopic halo of inner and outer perception. 

(Featuring Keri Highland).

SLIP

The clear unpolluted water flows gently through the derelict, once grandiose, buildings by the central sea. 

There is peace and beauty in this place - no human life lives here - only displaced spirits from long ago. is this the last logic of hypnopompic dreams, or a hypnagogic vision that flirts with awakening?

Time Slip

What is time? 

There never seems to be enough of it, yet there is an infinitesimal amount. It's been and gone, is here now, and will still be here in the future.

We're bound by it and change with it. It cannot be lost, just temporarily misplaced.

Time-slip is when another time briefly intrudes on the present or the present enters the past - like a portal to another time and place. When a moment in time is replayed for those aware enough to pick up that which lingers.

For brief moments different situations collide - time gets confused allowing us to step out of the present and into the past.

another time another place

another time another place

Have we imprisoned ourselves in three dimensions?

Is reality (the world we live in) just what our minds tell us is real, or could there be multiple alternative realities existing simultaneously? Quantum Physicists believe there could, and that parallel universes could exist less than one millimetre away from us. In fact they suggest that our gravity is just a weak signal leaking out of another universe into ours!

We normally think of ourselves as living in a three-dimensional world where we can move in three ways: left or right, up or down, forwards and backwards, but now we are told there may be eleven dimensions - hidden worlds beyond our human senses - a multiverse full of unexplained happenings and strange visions - just like this film then! 

Imagination is limitless - it doesn't have to make sense. 

By not having a specific narrative the film allows the viewer to interpret in their own way, according to his or her own experiences. There is a school of thought that the viewer's interpretation of any form of art is actually more important than that of the creator. I'm not sure I agree entirely with that, but I like my films to be abstract enough to show intent, but that the intent is subtle enough to allow the viewer's interpretational filters to go to work.
