The concept of the video story is mainly based on feelings of both solitude and isolation that are caused by the video characters’ choosing to live in hyper-reality’. The film concentrates on the desire of real communication in a world dominated by representations, phantoms and simulations. In such a modern world, the new media can shape, in their own way, the original experience of life “in between”.
The title Just another video about sunset refers to the idea of a natural life cycle or repetitive processes of changes taking place in the world of nature. It describes a simple life sinusoid, where losses and recoveries are part of this cycle.
The idea of sampling - ready-mades / found footage / samples - the method used in this video, intensifies the feelings of being lost in the contemporary world.Such world is filled with multiple images and creates “information shock”. We continuously absorb scattered pieces of information, pictures, single meaningless words, sounds creating layers of new meanings. Sampling is a way of creation and construction, but it isalso a sociological image of a confused society that is suffering from fear of a silence zone.
