[I clipped your wings]
a project by Maristella Colombo & Darko Dragicevic.

The short film is based on the representation of human existence, which is continuously and frenetically influenced by external experience.
The human mind is bombarded daily by continuous information positive and negative, to which it has to answer everytime.
In the video this is represented by a masculine figure and the stimuli of modern life are symbolized as different colours pills.
The human mind still free, not contaminated from the external influences is represented by a blonde young man, dressed in white, the colour of purity.
For the same reason, the atmosphere must be pure and steril and this is represented by a white box.
The external influences are 8, and they are symbolized by 8 pills in 8 different colours: sex in pink, time in blue, city in grey, computer in white, love in red, drugs in green, money in yellow, and war in black.
The 8 pills are taken by the “lighter” to the “heavier”, for the human existence.
