Supernova is an experimental 4K art film directed and designed by
Maxim Zhestkov and made in Zhestkov.Studio
Everything around and inside us was conceived in a huge explosion of a star
billions of years ago… and, probably, recycled from other matrices myriad
times. In this eternal carousel of matter, particles gather, form complicated
structures and then burst into all directions fusing atoms together and producing
new elements and points of view, new colours and patterns of perception.
Explosions could be perceived as a destructive force and the process of tearing
previously formed matter apart and, therefore, could have negative
connotations; however, fundamentally, only the process of breaking familiar
structures and rearranging them into new, more sophisticated shapes could
kindle new meanings and ideas and be the main creative force forming the future.
In the art film, we made computer simulations with millions of particles to explore
the behaviour and the beauty of the creative force of destruction.
