"Falling. (Apart)"

"Falling. (apart") is an experimental 360 short filmed on a Ricoh Thetah. It encapsulates the feelings of early covid-19 quarantine times by depicting various scenes of "falling", symbolizing the personal and communal falling from the normalcy of everyday life. 

The artist/creator shot himself with a voyeuristic gaze both re-enacting and living his daily habits during quarantine in order to replicate a candid recounting of his experience. 

This effort was multidimensional, as by trying to ignore the pan-optical gaze of the camera (in order to legitimize the candid nature) he was in fact trying to ignore a "pan-optical" self-reflection by outwardly characterizing his own presence. There is no direct connection between one scene and the other besides the motifs of falling, dreaming, and waiting.
