Catalogue > Un extrait vidéo au hasard

The video is a description of two people who are situated in an constant state of present, where the past is continuously fading and the future seems unreachable. It appears as if the woman and the man are unaware of their situation, which amplifies the sense of meaninglessness. "Eternal Start" illustrates a relationship where everything is routine, and every day is the same. Eternity becomes a reflection of a life without meaning, in which they are unable to change their accustomed behaviour. They converse like a record that is stuck, and never gets the chance to develop. The video highlights and gives insight to the importance of having the ability to make new memories, so that life can go on.
