Om by John Smith, part of the film & video program of transmediale 2018 face value

“This four-minute film explores our response to stereotypes—aural, visual, and ideological. John Smith signals these stereotypes to the viewer through a chiefly associational system, which deftly manipulates the path of our expectations. The structure is stunningly simple and deceptively subtle. We are taken on a journey from one concrete stereotype to its diametric opposite, as images transform and juxtapose to, ultimately, invert our interpretation of what we see and hear.” (Gary Davis)
