BLURRY

Brandon Rosen

 

The self dies time and time again along its odyssy of growing up. Framed as a forensic investigation, BLURRY chronicles the end of one man and the discovery of another.

Told in reverse, the pain of passing instead becomes a reawakening, drawing us back into the land of lost innocence. Much like the Voyage of Life by American painter Thomas Cole, singer-songwriter Brandon Rosen is funneled back in time through a watery wilderness. Along his way, he encounters tropes of youth tinged with the foreboding of old age.

In the end, a shadowy third man discovers the carcass of his former self and must piece together the scattered evidence of who he once was.
