Umbra Umbella 
Experimental Short Film
Excerpt

Fall as rain. Become heavy enough to plummet under gravity... Hiding.

Elevated, overhead view of urban life looking down on passers-by on street.
Entirely photo-based work on a less seen angle of umbrellas shielding people.

Under the umbrellas mobile phones emanate whimsical "fire"/light drawings
that look like human thought processes made visible in the darkness.


Cosmic rain drops shaped like parachutes. Can be seen as a shield protecting
the body. One's personal inner climate. Water of life. Not an emotion.


The word "umbrella" has evolved from the Latin umbella (an umbel is
a flat-topped rounded flower) or umbra, which means shaded or shadow.



Original format: photographs, audio.  5:30 min.  2015.

Music: Maripichan Sound-Machine; Marisol Barrios.
"All Day, All Night" from Love Songs EP
