MUTO

MUTO by BLU. This is a wall painted animation that would have taken weeks or months to create with a very skilled artist who paints over paintings over and over again and then have a man with a camera who will take a picture of each one to make the image seem like its moving. The can be many concepts received from this experimental video, the particular one that i got was that it seemed to be one long idea showing evolution. This isn't the well known kind of human evolution fro apes to humans but this is all mainly human its just the evolution of intelligence, for example towards the end of the film there is an image of an intellectual head with mechanical legs like a spider. This could represent the evolution of technology or intellect throughout mankind. It would seem to begin with inhuman shapes and then eventually turns into a more humanoid figure, so this could very well be significant. Or not this is just my opinion there are many ways to read this piece, it could be to do with life and death and regeneration, this can be shown by the amount of times that one of the drawings of men would die and one would walk out of its stomach and then the same would happen to that one, so it would seem to be constantly regenerating. Unless it would mean never-ending life, but this would be cancelled out by the very last scene of a head being eaten by loads of ants leaving a skull for the final image kbefore fading out. So this could mean that human life can only keep reviving itself before it would eventually kill itself.
