Symirroretry

“我热爱的到底是什么”这个问题曾困扰了很多人，这部长达40分钟的纪录片，通过Andrew Lovgren的镜头，两位黑夜中蒙面滑手以及贯穿在整片中的噪音，记录了Pontus Alv，Arto Saari等5位滑手从艺术的角度对滑板人生的解读
Five entities established in skateboarding share concepts of individuality, limitation, and knowledge learned from a constant evolving culture. A culture eternally cycling, dying, and rebirthing. Forced down dead end pathways by powerful business entities. Manipulated of progression through decensitized internet labyrinths. Two symmetrical beings, parallel in thought, know only that of which is seen. Controlled by a vivid entity yet handicapped by a lack of capacity of free thought and expression. No ambition? No spirit and fulfillment? Paintings of inner reflection. Still, immovable, and wondering; “What is my love and passion?” A documentary expressing the ‘artist’ journey of becoming. A parallel narrative supporting sentiment of fighting against conformity. A contribution of thought challenging comprehension and expansion. The story of symmetrical mirrors, formed as one entity.
