Released in 1983, Koyaanisqatsi draws its title from the Hopi word meaning 'life out of balance', revealing how humanity has grown apart from nature. Featuring extensive footage of natural landscapes and elemental forces, the documentary film gives way to many scenes of modern civilisation and technology. Given its lack of narration and dialogue, the production makes its points solely through imagery and music, with many scenes either slowed down or sped up for dramatic effect. I hope to re-create similar aspects of this in my own film, to give a sense of loneliness, relating to Lacan's lack theory.
