SLow

A man moves slowly through the urban landscape, pulled by an invisible electric winch. At a steady, unwavering pace, his body carves a path through the city, creating a poetic and powerful contrast between the defenseless human body and the relentless rhythm of modern life. During his time in Taiwan, Karel van Laere observed how people live within strict societal rules that are not easily set aside. In the video SLow, he explores the vulnerability of the human body in a world dominated by machines and rigid systems.
