Description

Rhino is a symbol of heaviness for me. Heaviness, on the other hand, is the chief property, nay, the essence of corporeal world, and consequently of human being. Nevertheless, human being is indeed also heavy-less in his essence. He is this paradoxical being; an existent between heaven and earth. He has been trapped by his weight, yet he is essentially and constantly an endeavor to get free of his weight; he is essentially a restless existent, i.e., he always tends to move upwards, and in other words, to fly. Yeah, his weight is the origin of his will, or better, desire to fly in the vast sense of the term. However, he almost always behaves in manners which instead of freeing him, make him get more and more griped by his weight. Living just an everyday life is a vain restlessness which will never get us anywhere, and by “anywhere” I mean a destination which actually and essentially desired by our essence. whether we are aware consciously of that destination or not it makes no difference, because we always in our depths desire it. Therefore, it suffices that we liberate ourselves from living just an everyday life. Everydayness is like a vain circular motion. Keeping all this in mind, rhino I depicted in this animated film symbolizes a thoroughly everyday human being which contrary to his essential weightlessness which I have tried to depict it by cylinder suspended in the heaven without any support, runs horizontally and in a circular way on the mentioned cylinder without any further progress.
