Bubbles
BY
Noemi Sjöberg

While watching my footage from Morocco, I started playing atthe “Rear window”, making several “zooms” in one singletake filmed at the Square Jemaa el-Fnaa in Marrakech. Littleby little, I began to discover thousands of stories in onesingle clip. The game and voyeurism turned a single sceneinto infinite possible intrigues. Multiple parallel lives,each in its fragile bubble, are revealed in a short moment.Through the film, we can sort of see how human beings livedisconnected from each other and how society is obsessed withcapturing moments of life for no other purpose. We are gazingat a show of animals, beings. While editing this video, I hadthe opportunity to show an unusual view of a banal scene. Iimagined, as if the scene had been recorded by a CCTV cameraand was a kind of “Big Brother”.
