A Minute Life is likewise an experimental project that draws attention to its processes in relation to the surrounding world. It is a self-referential project of the twenty-first century built on the idea of humans' dual nature: on one had the desire to grasp (visualize) abstract ideas, and on the other the need to register the concreteness of real events. Realism and the metaphysical are revisited with a movie camera pointed to the outer and inner worlds. It launches the idea of minute-ism, that which is small, short, persistent, regular, forceful, personal, and which surfaces from a sea of people. Written by
