Human beings have been using weapons for too many years to neutralize other human beings. But it seems like he has adopted, increasingly in recent years, another invention born to help man in his common life, using a weapon much more powerful than bombs and rifles, which slowly affects the whole of humanity, through his constantly improper use, THE PLASTIC.
In the video BOTTLEFIELD, we find ourselves underwater, as if we were swimming and looking towards the sky, when suddenly we start to see some bottle caps, which rest vigorously on the surface of the water.
Just like real bombs, the scene is filled with plastic caps, increasingly limiting the view and reducing the last rays of sunlight penetrating through them.
We hear a frantic noise, caused by the dozens of caps that overlap with each other, and where we can barely take a slight gasping breath, due to a claustrophobic suffering from which there is no escape.
A strong crash, as if it was a final attack, which makes the imposing plastic mass move towards the bottom, when immediately after you see a hand rummaging through the pile of bottle caps which goes down more and more in the bottom to help us survive that onrush by pulling us to the surface.
With the video BOTTLEFIELD are raised important questions to which the human being must necessarily answer and find, with diligent care and actions, valid solutions to avoid his disappearance and final extinction.
