Crystals- the birth of crystals and shapes, a world of color and bright starlight became a space where i could create the Utopia i wanted to experience. Pyramids, grid perspectives extruded shapes in outer space- places and phenomenon i personally would like to see and take others there with me to share the experience together. I was not interested in storytelling with the particular Liszt´s musik piece that i chose because it is firstly very abstract and i could not imagine any story with it; and secondly- the place that it will be presented- the dome- is not really the place that i could tell a `human`-like story, as the dome is very spacy and made for telling the stories of the stars after all, so i decided to use that...
As i was reasearching and trying to put everything together it was a lucky coincidence that my sister remembered something from bulgarian history- Around 500-600AD at the time when the first bulgar tribes were settling at the land that now is my country(Bulgaria) there were a couple of different beliefs and religions among people. Particularly there was a very small one- about a goddess that people believed she was born between three stars and people were worshiping mountain crystals( representing the bright stars-the holy Sky ) and wearing them as amulets. This paganism (paganistic?) belief is called Fuksianstvo(Fuksismus)...The myth is so beautiful and i knew it will add a lot of sence to my film if i use it as a starting point. So the abstract world i wanted to create became a holy place- where something beautiful and meaningful si born...The imagery remains abstract- i did not want to change that- but to add a meaning- It was not any more just a place somewhere in space- but a place where Fuxismus is born long time ago or nowadays and simply trying to illustrate the birth and mysticism...
I tried to follow a certain rhythm that i found in the music but also - to create a certain tempo within the imagery itself- with a stronger beginning- calm middle part where the viewer can just relax- and a final dynamic sequence as an end...
