Using the narrative structure of nature documentaries, I'm thinking about this whole world; clouds below, space above explores how myths and doctrines plagiarize our minds. Instead of testing the veracity of creation hypotheses and the end of the world, the video considers what their consequences are on our lives and concludes that how we watch documentaries on nature is like our memory. We know both are unreliable but despite this awareness, we tend to believe them. I'm thinking about this whole world; clouds below, space above is an invitation to pay attention to the stories that can shape the way we think and act in the world.
