EMOTIONAL EDGES

In the constant research of material on Emotions (and visual-practice based material on the same topic), I came across this exciting video entitled Fire and Water. 

I have personally found extremely interesting the way emotions are built into the fury of nature. The bodily experienced raised by the video in the audience is a set of emotions, being in a perpetual rhythm of denial and acknowledgement, of contentment and perturbedness but also restlessness and restfulness. Emotions (at large) are here experienced in their full form, as quite and noisy natural events. 

The partition of the screen, the dichotomy of the images set immediately a duality, a confrontation with ambivalent way of feeling. The video, introspectively, opens interesting discussions on the language of cinema and its 'natural' forces as emotional stirrer.
