Project: Glimmer
Work: Experimental Shortfilm
Location: Aarhus, DK
Date: 2024

Details: The film explores the idea of how metal and it’s immortality contrast with the finite nature of human existence. It asks the question: What makes human life meaningful in the face of its brevity? How do the stories of our ancestors, ingrained within us, shape our perception of the present, and which stories do we carry within us for the future?

The collaborative poem, crafted by writers, friends, and family worldwide, paired with experimental visuals invites viewers to ponder the enigmatic essence that lingers long after we're gone.

The film is a collaboration with the jewellery designer Lisa Billander.

All jewellery is available to buy or rent on her website.
