Project 6 - The moving Image
The Moving Image assignment was to show meaning though a video, not just a single frame.
My goal was to show more about myself, and to introduce chaos to a more banal of subjects. Shoveling.
While shoveling snow atop an obscenely large snow pile in my yard, I introduced my dog as another shovel of snow, and then myself - representing that it is not only the snow that I am shoveling onto the pile, but for the time I spend on such a monotonous task, I shed sweat and my own time on top as well. What difference does it make piling on a dog or a human? Snow has far more importance than any one creature, as it is the most important thing on the planet - frozen and trapped in ice - however it is immortal. My interaction may have hurt my stomach, but the snow did not feel a thing.
That snow will be snow every year until the world stops turning, and I will have to keep shoveling it. I will only be on the world long enough to shovel it away from myself - and when I am gone, someone else may choose to pile it up.
