This and a Million More Lights

About This Movie

This short piece, 'This and a Million More Lights', captures a fleeting moment in time. The interplay of strobing fluorescent light with the serene yet playful scenes of a young boy by the pool creates an almost hypnotic atmosphere. It’s got this raw, experimental quality that feels both spontaneous and curated. The pacing is intentionally abrupt, reflecting the urgency of the AIDS awareness campaign it was made for. There’s a certain tension in the visuals that pulls you in, making you ponder the juxtaposition of innocence and the weight of a serious cause. A unique exploration of space and light, it stands out in the realm of short film art, offering a glimpse into issues that resonate on deeper levels.

This piece is part of a limited series commissioned by the Nelson Mandela Foundation, which adds to its uniqueness and appeal for collectors. It’s not widely available in physical formats, making it somewhat scarce. The artistic nature and social context around its creation certainly bolster collector interest, especially among those who appreciate experimental works and the impact of art on social issues. Its short runtime also means it tends to be a curiosity among those who collect short films and artist videos.
