Our Time in the Darl, Terry Silvester, Video, 2018

If you manage to take your head out of your ass for one second and actually listen, maybe you would understand what you have posted is a still image. There is a huge difference between a still image that shows barely anything and a video that shows much more. Obviously film counts as art if intended, but taking a boring single frame aside and looking at it as it stands is not art. If literally anyone is able to create the exact same image whenever they feel like it, it’s not art. Art takes effort, like the Mona Lisa. But creating a still image with a camera that is basic, such as the one that you have posted here without a single explanation as to what it is, is not art. If you accuse me of not thinking filmmaking is art when I’m talking about the still image that you have posted without explaining it’s part of a bigger video then you are incredibly ignorant
