Rather Casual

2017–2021

A collective video diary by members and friends of 56 Stuff.

2017–2021

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.
