IMMORTALITY III/III - Dr. Wendy Suzuki

Umbrella was called upon to create three short films for the 2015 Art Directors Club Gala. The sequence of the three films directed by Luka Kostil explore the enigmatic theme of immorality through the lens of art, science, and psychiatry.
In the final short film Dr. Wendy Suzuki, Professor of Neural Science and Psychology at New York University makes the claim that emotional resonance is key for everlasting memories. Immortality for a piece of art or any memory we have may evolve if we feel a strong resonance with them.
By exploring their thoughts we can discover that Oliviero talks about the past, Andrew emphasizes the magnitude of the present and Wendy examines the future. These time spaces are embodied in the films by symbolic materials such as ink, sand and fire.
