The theme of the video was always the USA. Inspired very strongly by Koyaanisqatsi, by Godfrey Reggio and Philip Glass, I also wanted to express my own criticism of the postmodern society in which we live, with total detachment from others and wrapped in an individualistic and self-destructive dynamic. However, I wanted to focus this on the USA since it is that country that condemns and limits the socioeconomic development of others; and the main responsible for life today being what it is. I sought to produce a feeling of fatigue, tiredness, visual and auditory stress. And I wanted to achieve this through a violent and visceral journey to the hidden and less friendly face of the USA: impossible rhythms of life, inhuman productive models, cities that look like anthills, violence, police brutality, racism, media manipulation, suicides, war, school shootings and indifference; with special mention to the latter. A real USA, as representatives of postmodern hell.
Entering into terms of image, the video is replete with metaphors, similes and messages that last at most a second. I prefer that the analysis and reflections of them be left to each person's discretion; but I would like to clarify some intentional aspects that I want to highlight over the whole. The first is the spiral, which plays a major role throughout the clip. This is a resource that I have used to visually immerse the viewer more and more in the cycle of violence, until reaching a bottom that would be embodied by the sequence of the war. The lowest and most nauseating part of the USA. From then on, the spiral would decrease, "spitting" the viewer out as a symbol that his journey has ended and he already knows America in depth.
