A human reality in the future under changed environmental conditions. How will the atmosphere and the air we breathe once our oceans’ biodiversity is exhausted? Will there be air to breathe when the big blue ecosystem collapsed entirely and its function as oxygen generator is history? The video attempts to preserve a possible reality which did not happen yet and which might be preventable if tangible pictures are given of how our future might look like if it is too late to act and to recover appreciation for our fragile environment and life support system, nature.
The constant noise inside and outside recreates a numbness of the body under the imagined circumstances. Sparse dialogue results from an imagined numbness of the mind, suppressed by an oppressed environment. Natural, organic connection is needed more than ever.

Does the present = one historical event + another? Which human variables in what relation created events in our past and present? Can we compare our present to a mathematical equation depicted through editing, even though the process is instinctive and brute, in short, human?
