Zhe WangThe Heart Knows Its Reasons That Reason Knows Nothing of
Music Video | 02:35
Inspired by psychology and dream analysis, this short music film demonstrates an encounter with one’s shadow self and undeveloped potential. “The shadow, when it is realized, is the source of renewal. ” (Jung, 1958)
Features gothic stylings, electronic beats and contemporary dances, the aesthetic of the film is an experiment with Zizek’s ‘perversion guide’ in film theory, which helps viewers discover their “non-human” self by experiencing intense emotions through fictional works, revealing the self-prohibition hidden in their mind and reason.
“The real alien is precisely within human body, and has more vigor than human itself.”
- Ridley Scott. ALIEN (1979)
