Twins Paradox
The speed of light seemed unmistakable to him. His trajectory is no longer a straight axis. If he wants to achieve the specified result, he must accelerate at the start, turn halfway and at the end slow down again and land. Her body became a shared living object of inquiry. His breath is no longer natural and blood no longer circulates just for him. The mission is to be researched, documented, and therefore it is important that every step is successful. Obstacles associated with anxiety, reassessment and dysfunction of normal bodily assurances of movement, intensify the experience of present moments. In the attractive symbols of the attributes of the time of the past, we can perceive the incomprehensibility. The synthesis of these symbols allows us to reuse the illusions of motion, but without dependence on matter. The presented project reveals the ambiguity of the experiment in which individuals lost privacy and natural emotions due to a space mission. The phase of realizing and finding one's own identity after a unique experience is a meanwhile, which may take longer than we anticipate. The situation in which he finds himself reflects authentic statements that are looped into the time loop of the story.
The sister, who underwent the experiment with her brother, tells about returning home. Returning to reality, as the sum of everything that actually takes place, as opposed to mere ideas, illusions, desires, and assumptions, is very difficult. Physical and mental stress, physionomic phenomena associated with a challenging journey that responded to the body and the environment, or one's own reflections on the success of the project can be burdensome. This way of telling is generally very attractive, as it contains explanations about cosmic phenomena, an area that is so far removed from us by its majority unreachability. Světlana Malinová breaks down the story of the real event and plays with the basis of an authentic narrative. He reinterprets the basic elements, thus transforming the documentary into a more narrative storyline with distinctive fiction in relation to gender issues. Matej Martinec works with the visual duality of the story. He creates animations in which seemingly material bodies, inspired by mystical symbols and the cyclicality of time, move in repeating circles. Geometry represents order, motion represents variability. Together, they grasp the immutability of the laws of physics, but some of the animations shift the concept of these principles into visual abstraction. Subsequent recovery after return is described subjectively and free of sibling ties. The story itself does not offer us clues to decipher it, but rather its interpretation opens a sensitive view of the theme of the universe, which we otherwise perceive rather technocratically, unemionally.
