“We lost our phone”

Stop-motion music video by Dominika Łabądź and Jakub Majchrzak for the song “We lost our phone” by Zea + Oscar Jan Hoogland. Each frame was prepared and printed in Riso technique and then photographed and edited. Both the clip and the lyrics refer to the crisis of communication in contemporary social and political reality. Its prospects are both geopolitical and human. We have lost the perspective of time, space and language. Paradoxically, in the era of the greatest technological growth, which enables us to establish communication in any latitude, even in space, we have lost the ability to communicate. At the borderline, caused by the blurred fiction and truth categories, We point our gaze against each other instead towards the power.
