Die Kunst ist der nächste Nachbar der Wildnis – Germany

in Art is the Closest Neighbor of the Wilderness, Caspar de Gelmini originally intended to create the entire video using Super8 film, and some pre-release versions were indeed produced in that format. However, he ultimately decided to reshoot the entire work digitally. A distinctive feature of the video is its extensive use of macro lenses—particularly in capturing close-up shots of grasses and in the transformation of real images into AI-generated visuals.
