Directing non-actors to give dumped clothes human behaviours for the end project art installation of my social artistic residency with Baltan Laboratories, was a serious and a great fun challenge!
How to bring out the best in participants to successfully embody textile waste in landfills? How could a piece of natural yarn, fabric or old clothes feel before been burnt or thrown away in a landfill? In documentary, the director is more a guide than a commander. Plus, people who have joined this shooting have something in common, they were all volunteers motivated to work together to create positive change, or at least, to try and learn further on how he or she, could contribute to the project's goal. Reflexive guidance was key as we need to have some serious talk over our use of the world’s natural resources. Humanity’s rapidly growing consumption of natural resources is causing severe damage at different levels. Increased consumption of raw materials for textile production create nothing but over production of waste and emissions. Meantime, while getting everybody in the reflexive mood of overconsumption and consumerism, Niek was capturing action as it happens. Then, Floor will be with me into the laborious editing and post-production work, for Leon to add the cherry on the cake with some soundscapes. Thank you for staying in touch. More news coming soon! #overconsumption #documentary #filmmaking #artinstallation
