T/Here again
Quick and dirty video experiment looking at the strangeness/surrealness of travel. My impetus is the déjà vu/simultaneity strangeness of between two places you know well/when it involves a long flight/when there is a plane or train at all. We’ll see if this idea goes anywhere/if i don’t get completely fed up with iMovie first. LAX… Continue reading T/Here again
