"NIYAR - A PAPER TALE"
IN A WHITE PAPER MOUNTAIN SHE SITS. IN HER THOUGHTS. AFTER HOURS AND HOURS OF WRITING, ANYTHING MAY HAPPEN, THE LINES BETWEEN DESPERATION AND HOPE, DREAM AND REALITY, BEGIN TO BLUR. LOVE SEEMS LIKE THE PAPERS AROUND HER. CRUMPLED.
SUDDENLY THE PAPER AROUND HER WAKE UP AND START TO MOVE. THE SUN RISES IN THE UNIVERSE OF THE IMAGINATION. “NIYAR” IS A WORLD WITHIN A WORLD. A STORY WITHIN HER STORY. IT IS ABOUT LOVE, ABOUT LOST AND THE DESIRE FOR FULFILLMENT. HARD WORKING IN AN IMPERFECT WORLD MAKES US SAD. SIMPLE FEELINGS OF LOVE MAKE US HAPPY. IN "NIYAR", SADNESS AND DESPAIR TURN A PAPER SOUL APART. MAAYAN IUNGMAN FORMS A POETIC ALTERNATE REALITY. OR THIS REALITY FORMS HER.
“NIYAR” PRESENTS THE GAP BETWEEN THE WISH TO CREATE AND THE MOMENT IN WHICH INNER SPIRIT TAKES THE LEAD. THE MOMENT CONTROL IS LET LOOSE, JUDGMENT IS PUT ASIDE- AND CREATION HAPPENS.
WITHOUT USING A SINGLE WORD.
