The Apocalyptic Now from Wheeler Winston Dixon on Vimeo.

"The general public perception of the apocalypse is that it will manifest itself all of a sudden, as some cataclysmic event, which will sweep all before it into oblivion in one giant stroke. But that simply isn't true - it's happening right now, in slow motion, in everyday life, as our natural resources are depleted, and we continue to access each other through screens rather than actual contact.

Thus, this video, composed entirely of cinemagraphs, shows one part of the image in motion, and the other part, frozen in time - a fixed point in an era of social, political and ecological collapse. These are memories - memories of a time when change was possible, when things could be rolled back. That's no longer possible now, as we view images of a time lost to authentic recall." - Wheeler Winston Dixon

“Moments to remember are just like other moments. They are only made memorable by the scars they leave.” – Chris Marker
