[VdR '23] In a process of images collected on the internet since 2013, the directors craft a discourse that sometimes feels somewhat unfocused, less fascinating than "All light, everywhere" (2020), but with some interesting ideas about how the use of the camera has evolved to become a personal instrument to share a reconstructed reality with the rest of the world. Perhaps one of the most interesting conclusions is that this manipulation has not emerged in recent years. It's much more interesting when approached from a historical perspective than when approaching contemporary examples.
