Winterreise: The Cost of Isolation -- Short
winterreise tells the story of a person who has lost their connection to their community
in the isolation brought on by their trauma, the protagonist unravels
cast away from his home, without a safety net, he plunges into the chasm of mental illness
he is the barefoot man wearing half a dirty shirt lying across a subway bench
the percentage of our population experiencing homelessness is increasing
inflation
+
the dismantling of our social safety net
+
a real estate market that cannot meet the housing demands of a growing population
=
the average american is one unlucky break or two away from spending a night on the street.
every single person living in new york city passes multiple people experiencing homelessness on their daily commute
we don’t stop to think about how they got there or what we could do to help. most of the time, we hurry past them avoiding eye contact
every person experiencing homelessness has their own story — a past that has led them to the moment you walk past their outstretched hand
as artists, we must use our medium to force our community to confront what it is avoiding.
