“Innocent still“ is an expression of the status quo with the wish of virgin innocence on the one hand, and the impossibility to renounce the negative aspect of the capitalistic world system in which we are born in on the other. In my opinion any utopia is closely connected with the past and its history. This is one possible conclusion out of many. Therefore it is never possible to renounce the own culture because this would mean giving up identity.
The footage for “Innocent still“ was originated during a trip to America in 2011 with a mobile phone device. The esthetic expression is created by fast camera movings in real-time recording. Only a few cuts are used to change the scenes. Most of the pictures are unaffected and there are no digital effects.
The soundtrack is a remix of a song of the experimental sound collective “SUPERTERZ“, over layered by a female voice that expresses stock market prices.
