My own little show

Vladimir! How amazing of an experience!
What I found most interesting about this showing, presentation, group project, was the manipulation of a medium to tell a story in a new way minus a lot of technology. Vladimir opened up a door to storytelling using this simple 3D image made by our eyes....no wires, no fancy editing...just us and our eyes and hands doing most of the work. I can't imagine what it's like for her as an artist to get these ideas for stories or situations, draw up how she might photograph them, write the script and arrange to have it recorded, and then on top of it all, make the disks and cases...etc. It's just a lot of work for a 10 minute show per 4 disks. I can really appreciate the kind of dedication that she had to this idea, the time and energy, and to have it come to life must be awesome. I don't know if I could have that kind of devotion, or still be interested in pushing the boundaries of my medium if it took this kind of time. Maybe.
I enjoyed the artistry of scenes in I think it was called "fear and trembling." We were in the place of the viewer, our body was this machine. This POV was different than that of the other films. I really liked how she was able to build anxiety and fear with both using different shot angles (at chest level, from below, up in the sky) and symbolism of images to evoke feeling and how yes, they did make me fearful and anxious. When I took a step back I could kind of take apart why I felt anxious and why certain images made me feel more or less anxious.
Vladimir not only is an amazing storyteller and ingenious craftswoman, she is asking important questions of the viewer like:
"Where am I when I look into this and why am I here?"
"What does it mean when I can understand and relate to characters in a simple 3D image made by my eyes as much as I can in a technologically pumped up medium on a big screen."
"How do I relate to the person having their own show next to me?"
