“I almost reached the other side of the universe.”
This compliment I’ll never forget, because it expressed exactly what, in those days, I was trying to achieve. The first mirjamsvideos are characterized by long scenes in which the world in some way seems unreal, questionable, played in slow motion. But, no, this is all real, the real speed of life.
I wanted was to give people something that is different from their normal experience, and I wanted to achieve this by the use of scenes from normal life. I wanted them to immerse themselves in the worlds presented, travel somewhere else (inside themselves) and come out sort of renewed, the way one feels at the end of a very relaxing holiday, or after a successful meditation.
And though this intention is not forgotten, over time the videos started to show they wanted to explore different directions…
