The unwanted video series (2024)

“The Unwanted video series” is a video series that utilizes accidentally taken photos and sounds from 65 individuals who responded to an open call via social media. These spontaneous snapshots provide an authentic and unfiltered glimpse into the behind-the-scenes of these individuals’ lives.

The series combines all these raw images with pocket calls, resulting in a seamless fusion of visuals and audio. Through this combination, the lives of 65 individuals are brought together in three stories. The sound appears to emanate from the visuals we see, and vice versa, creating a surreal experience.

“The unwanted video series“ prompts viewers to reflect on common experiences and points of connection in our contemporary society, all while exploring themes of identity, privacy, and the intricacies of human relationships. In doing so, the series serves as a poignant reflection on the blurred boundaries between reality and fiction, compelling viewers to reconsider their perceptions of truth and storytelling in the digital age.
