A dark, but very engaging video piece by Mischa Rozema and British graphic designer, Si Scott for OFFF Barcelona 2011. The film guides you through their vision of the future with the artists involved in this years OFFF festival’s names embedded throughout in a range of interesting ways. Varying from neon signs looming down from oppressive cityscapes to black letter tattoos being filled in they thread all of the artists names into their story seamlessly. Below is how they describe the piece on their Vimeo –

“The idea was to trick the audience into thinking they’re watching some kind of documentary. We basically follow a guy going home. Bit by bit his environment gets stranger and more uncomfortable to watch. Is he living in a war zone? Slowly the background takes over and the piece changes into an urban nightmare. And like a nightmare, the story/edit doesn’t always make sense but makes you feel really uncomfortable. I also wanted the viewer to experience the nightmare. That’s where the dark matter comes in. Dark matter is what I call the macro shot bits. Flashes that derail your train of thought like there’s something eating away at your brain as you try to make sense of the nightmare. I wanted the viewer to go nuts, alongside with the cast. Erase the line between nightmare and reality. The end result is something you won’t come across easily on your tv. And is also just another fun way to do titles.”
