While I caught up with a friend, I looked far from us; a trail of footprints followed. I couldn't help but notice that a few of them stopped in the middle of the path. I saw a story: a beginning, an end, then a time in space where a singular point was detailed to tell a part of it. For as long as the snow did not melt, two different footprints spoke with eachother.
I wanted to express this video in a manner of McLuhan's ideology: everything happens at once. As McLuhan argues, electronic media produce an implosion of traditional space and time, causing past, present, and future to coexist rather than progress linearly. The footprints serve as traces, evidence of movement that has already occurred, turning time into something spatial, observable, and continuous.
