"Falling. (Apart)"

"Falling. (apart") is an experimental 360 short filmed on a Ricoh Thetah. It encapsulates the feelings of early covid-19 quarantine times by depicting various scenes of "falling", symbolizing the personal and communal falling from the normalcy of everyday life. 

The artist/creator shot himself with a voyeuristic gaze both re-enacting and living his daily habits during quarantine in order to replicate a candid recounting of his experience. 

This effort was multidimensional, as by trying to ignore the pan-optical gaze of the camera (in order to legitimize the candid nature) he was in fact trying to ignore a "pan-optical" self-reflection by outwardly characterizing his own presence. There is no direct connection between one scene and the other besides the motifs of falling, dreaming, and waiting. As is life, where no two experiences are truly connected unless we give them the reasons or abilities to do so.
