2017–2021
Various people shot more or less random videos on numerous locations via different devices. It’s an incomplete but relevant description of modern reality. Of course, we all are a part of this, as well as our friends and friends of our friends. “Rather Casual” reflects the current situation — exactly what a diary should do.
The visual density of this diary is high and it comes without any explanation whatsoever. A viewer can recognize some places, objects, symbols or situations, but not necessarily. And that’s the proper level of abstraction for a compilation of casual footage.
Small bits of real-life documentation are combined with each other in quite an erratic manner. The whole thing swings between trivial and weird. It has no definite course and no certain destination — which is rather casual.
Episode 1: a winking postcard, a walking robot, soap bubbles, Japanese toys, stamping seagulls, and other things and creatures.
Episode 2: a car of one horsepower, a flight of a toy kite, good use for old TV sets, a tunnel for bicycles, and other places and situations.
Episode 3: levitating faucet and noodles, dancing balloons, wind and water, ants and people, trams and bicycles, cities and villages.
Episode 4: a kayak in the city, imperfect equestrianism, a duck-sailor-tumbler, a spot where nothing happened, and barrier tapes.
Episode 5: snowy places, fighting goats, tiny floating dinosaurs, bricks of different purposes, bicycles on water, actions and pauses.
