Sizes and Speeds
by Rogier van der Zwaag
In his own words:
“"Sizes and Speeds" is a short film inspired by my fascination of how we have a common (and limited) interpretation of the surrounding world, despite there being so many other ways of interpretation open to us.
The film is also a poetic visual interpretation of a lecture given by Richard Dawkins called 'Why The Universe Seems So Strange”.
According to Dawkins our brains are designed to help us survive the world we see before us. That's why we have so much difficulty understanding microscopic molecules or the vastness of the universe.
Thus the question arises: Even if we were to possess all the answers to all the mysteries of the universe, would our brains ever be able to understand them?
The film was made in my studio in Amsterdam, check the little making of here: vimeo.com/253217225
