The Human and the Hollow Frame – perspectives on past, present and future of art and humanity – explores the fragile relationship between creativity and technology, and the human essence within an increasingly fragmented and mechanized world where the line between the organic and the synthetic blurs: Artists from various disciplines reflect on the purpose of artistic expression and the relevance of art in an era of acceleration and abundance.

The film is an independent, ongoing interview-based project, interwoven with artistic collage elements, capturing a wide range of perspectives on the direction of cultural progress. It features diverse voices – primarily musicians, painters, sculptors, actors, filmmakers, theater artists – but also philosophers, innovators, and futurists.

It’s a contemplation of meaning, memory, and identity – a time capsule of the creative process itself, a dialogue between presence and absence, form and void, in which the human voice struggles to find its place within the frameworks of modern culture that often feel hollow and humanly disconnected.

What kinds of creativity exist, and how do we make use of them? What is the mutual influence between culture and technology? What are the essential purposes of art? How does it coexist with rapid technological progress?
 Does it still hold the same importance in a society overwhelmed by information and opportunity? What are the benefits – and the costs – of abandoning certain traditional aspects of the creative process? What remains when tactile forms of creation give way to algorithms and automated systems? And how might the human element reshape itself within the cultural landscape of the future?

The spectrum of possibilities remains wide: from decline to renewal, everything still seems within reach.

Yet in a time when cultural identities and memories are reshaping at high speed – with a general tendency toward quantity over quality – the risk of losing certain human abilities of self-identification and self-determination is becoming increasingly real.

In the future to come – will we all be watching a hollow frame?
