CYCLES

CYCLES, a visual journey, exploring the topic of Circularity through culture, dance, music & fashion. We know we need to move towards a more holistic and circular understanding of the world in order to live within the means of our planet. But what does circularity really mean? How can we embrace it through fashion, through music, through dance, through culture? With this film we want to explore the idea of circular culture. By uniting different fields of artistry under the topic of circularity, we created a visual essay that can help us understand our circular nature.
