How To Stop Time

Experimental film: AI-narrated philosophy meets preserved nature footage.

An experimental film featuring Walter Benjamin's philosophical text "This is what the angel of history must look like" read by an artificial intelligence generated voice. The AI narration is juxtaposed with video footage from the Hebrew University's natural archives and specimens - stuffed animals, preserved fossils, and scientists studying the remains of nature. This pairing of Benjamin's words on history with AI technology and decaying natural artifacts prompts introspection on themes of preservation, progress, and humanity's relationship with the past and present. A collaborative project with Yotam Goren.
