The Wellspring and the Tower
Project overview
Student name
Melinda Kádár
Programme
The artist created the short film by drawing inspiration from the cycle of collapse and rebirth of an ecosystem.
When the wellspring that sustains the ecosystem dries out, its cry for help triggers a process which uses all of the world’s resources to build a tower. This seems to have a destructive effect on the environment, but the tower has only one purpose: to resurrect the wellspring.
“The film is an attempt to reconcile dichotomies such as masculine and feminine, natural and artificial, giving and taking, seeking to justify the existence of both poles and explore their dynamic interactions through a perpetually repeating structure.” (dotandline.blog)
