The Millions of Lives
Piotr Kolano Video The film addresses personal issues of transformation and introspection, “Kolanko” navigates through various experiences of self, identity problems, memory, and self-interpretation. It does not seek to find answers, but it connects with the viewer by connecting with itself. It searches for aspects of personality that have previously been unrecognized or remained as intuition and premonitions and gives them a language. The sparse, minimalist aesthetic of the imagery allows for a focus on the content while simultaneously transporting us into the world of observation seen through the author’s eyes. The images directly correspond with the text, often created during or immediately after writing the narrative. Kolanko employs contemporary aesthetics of films and reels to create works that are decidedly not them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj90hAtK27U
