I previously wrote about Stefan Christoff’s fantastic Air, that it sparks “our imaginations beyond the infinite refractions of our limited perception,” and in the contemplative explorations of “A River Below The Skyscraper,” it is staring us in the face. Samer Najari’s video heightens this feeling with its archival Super 8 footage, leaving us flitting between two diverging points. Najari writes:
“This is archive Super 8 footage from Miami, Florida. I found the residential building in front of us impressive and I started to play with the camera. I was looking to create a sensation of vertigo from this massive concrete structure on the waterfront. The music appealed to me for two reasons. Firstly, the layering structure which inspired me was to find a way to layer the images and the colours of the American flag. Secondly, the strangeness and certain discomfort which are two emotions often attributed to dreams and which is masterfully expressed by Stefan Christoff’s Organ.”
Air is out now on Shimmering Moods and available HERE.
