SYNOPSIS
A documentary video shot in black and white shows a little boy standing next to a river playing with rocks. The material is slowed down and paused many times.
Video Irreversible uses two elements that are linked to each other and at the same time contradict one another to deal with the title. With slowed down, many times paused scenes of a child (his son) the author tries to stop the time and interfere with the process of transience. But with the symbol of river that irresistibly and undoubtedly runs by the child he reminds us and himself that time nevertheless cannot be stopped. Black and white technique, which instantly labels the video as a document of the past, supports the concept of transience.
