Two dancers and a musician experiment with the concept of time. How can we slow down?

In a world of incessant acceleration, where we are bombarded with a constant stream of images, we often lose touch with who we are. Our identity becomes fragmented and transforms into a series of reactions rather than reflections.

Can slowing down offer us a chance to reflect, to be attentive, to observe ourselves beyond the demands of daily rush? How does time influence our thinking, our identity, and our lives?

A wake-up call—and a reminder to pause and feel every moment: Slow Down
