Miranda Javid

An animated poetic retelling of Adam & Eve’s story.

A wisp of smoke rises through Los Angeles while mourning her imminent disappearance. In the midst of her nervous breakdown, she encounters other disenfranchised beings, the Other bodies of the city, and the intervening self of a form that is no longer singular.

How can two things be true at the same time? A study of the elusive human brain and the relativities of black and white thinking.

The rigidity of a historical fact rolls by like clouds, or maybe like cloud-computing. Digital landscapes like desktops, trash cans, and cursors flatten the sensation of what tangibly remains: the invisible pleasure of wind on skin.

A macro view of human-actions, as told from within a singular body. The film is a catalog of homo sapien instincts: its sequences interlace extractive qualities of our species with embodied sensory experience, producing a mindful awareness of what humans do to their habitats and planet Earth. Animated frame by frame with biodegradable ink and paper.
