Godfrey Reggio: Koyaanisqatsi |
Inhaltsangabe und Filmkritik
Der Titel "Koyaanisqatsi" stammt aus der Sprache der Hopi-Indianer und bedeutet so viel wie "Leben, das aus dem Gleichgewicht geraten ist". "Koyaanisqatsi" is not so much about something, nor does it have a specific meaning or value. "Koyaanisqatsi" is, after all, an animated object, an object in moving time, the meaning of which is up to the viewer. Art has no intrinsic meaning. This is its power, its mystery, and hence, its attraction. Art is free. It stimulates the viewer to insert their own meaning, their own value. […] The film's role is to provoke, to raise questions that only the audience can answer. This is the highest value of any work of art, not predetermined meaning, but meaning gleaned from the experience of the encounter. The encounter is my interest, not the meaning. If meaning is the point, than propaganda and advertising is the form." (www.koyaanisqatsi.org)
