Waterbang


Film (the video will start after advertisement)

Synopsis

poster for WaterbangWater is contrasted with the life it sustains. Clean water has become very precious. Waterbang uses visual information to consider the role of water, and the contamination of it. Layers of car lights during rush hour, power-plants, and oil derricks are reminders of the elements we put into the environment.

Waterbang is meant to represent a transitory world that allows for healing. The unexpected rhythm and tumultuous imagery lead to a calming resolve.


"Michael Wyshock’s video “Waterbang” is a poetic, psychedelically patterned, constantly looping work that layers real-world imagery and movement. It is a study in building intensity and complication." (Facing Nature, by Ken Weathersby)

thank you

Thank you Michael Wyshock for making this beautiful moving painting. I have seen this film several times in several different locations including the Independent Thought Alarm and the Lincoln Center, Walter Reade Theatre to name a few. Every time I see it I experience something new and I become inspired to do everything I can to preserve what precious water we have left on this planet.
