Damn Bukowski!
Damn Bukowski from Sarah Paul on Vimeo.
Damn Bukowski represents designers working to create a product that is deemed valuable and beautiful, however the movement of the footage and the interruption of natural flow represent the skewing of thought that what you are seeing is not reality.
The treatment of the film shows that their is more complexity than this dreamlike state (aided by the soundscape heard in the background). The existential quote illustrates the concept that yes, designers create things that can be seen as valuable and beautiful, but that is not always the case no matter who you are and how it is represented.
There will always be those who agree, disagree and others don’t even notice or care. To illustrate the concept of those who don’t care the film becomes the background of the text in the end. The poster goes from emphasizing the importance of the designer (people who love what you do), to disengaging the belief (people who hate what you do) to showing a dismissed attitude (people who don’t care).
