Glasswork

Zdeněk Picpauer, Zdeněk Picpauer / Czech Republic / 2022 / World Premiere / 1 min.


synopsis

Like at the New Year’s Eve, showers of colourful light cut through the darkness. While fireworks dissolve into nothing after a thunderous sound, shattered glass leaves material artifact. Sharp pieces then become a reminder of the real track that fireworks leave in the sky.

“I have always been fascinated with fireworks. So I decided to portray its immitation.”
