NAINN - Worship Ain’t No Lie
Worship Ain’t No Lie is a story about the abyss of fear and omnipresent truth.
The female protagonist guides us through the night narrating the disruptive state of inner fight and distress. The visualized figure of fear and truth patiently by her side. Reality and dream emerge into a surreal construct through experimental pictures and deafening sound.
Fear and Truth
Fear is like a hunting figure, a shadow that is following us and we want to escape from. We are trying to resist the deafening feeling but nevertheless how fast we run, it will find a way to the surface. The everlasting dialogue with ourselves.
If we are confronted by fear, we are in the position of facing the inner conflict and battlefield of haunting demons. And yet the border between realities disappear. It is an illuminating feeling and intoxicating fullfilment.
Indeed the straight way to overcome fear is to go right through it.
What I consired fear, is truth at once. And what I considered a figure, am I myself.
„I want to embrace a discourse about topics that are stigmatized as taboos in our current society: Such as abuse, violation, anxiety, panic attacks or trauma. Also I want to encourage people to deal with their fears and to find ways to overcome them.“
