Mirage: Eigenstate

Synopsis

MIRAGE - EIGENSTATE weaves together analogous investigations into the nature of reality, positioning Western science as just one methodology among many in a constellation of pluralistic worldviews. The film explores different interpretations of reality, from Sufi mysticism and Monorealism to theories of quantum mechanics. Edited in the style of American astronomer and planetary scientist Carl Sagan’s 1980s television show, 'Cosmos', which sought to explain the origin of life and the fourth spatial dimension, MIRAGE - EIGENSTATE references scientific mass communication, where complex concepts are described in straightforward ways, often through images.
