[ˈru:ts-]
We think we know everything.
We believe that what we see is all there is.
But can we be so sure about that?
If we talk about roots most of the time we think of trees and plants.
Roots provide them with water and nutrients.
We think about thread shaped worms that crawl through the earth and build a network of information. They grow and split and split and grow and form some kind of labyrinth.
But is that really all there is?
To reach the core of our earth we would have to dig deeper than 6.000 kilometers.
And with all the technology we have so far there are 5.987 kilometers left.
5.987 kilometers of unknown depth.
5.987 kilometers of undiscovered worlds.
5.987 kilometers left to our own imagination.
[ˈru:ts-] is an imagination of the worlds that live under our feet.
It’s not about creating a clear picture that somehow shows how it could look like down there. It’s about creating a feeling of undefined, unreachable depth.
As the animation goes deeper and deeper down the worlds become stranger and stranger.
Until the viewer has a feeling of weightlessness.
That’s when time starts to disappear.
