Short Film“The Spectacle” Explores Tourist Photo Obsession
Initially, the documentary presents serene, seemingly untouched landscapes, featuring starry night skies and majestic mountaintop views. However, van Dorp then shifts the perspective to throngs of tourists, transforming the tranquil scenes into chaotic displays dominated by phones and cameras.
The film highlights various behaviors, such as a parent attempting to position a child on Kjeragbolten, Norway's famous boulder, for a photograph. It also shows assistants adjusting formal gowns to create a windswept effect, alongside ubiquitous selfie sticks and drone controls. Van Dorp aims to confront viewers with the prevalent desire to view spectacular sights through a small screen and the resulting inability to be truly present.
