Geoff Dyer’s “Where? What? Where?” criticizes the well-known artist Paul Gauguin and comments on reality, what it means to live, disappointment and more. This motion piece takes quotes from the essay to create a short preview of Dyer’s story.

With a focus on disappointment and how it is described in the essay, I created visual to depict longing and wanting. I incorporated Gauguin’s paintings, as a subtle nod to the artist and the setting of the essay. The video plays with scale shifts and changing what you can see and not see to display the theme.
