‘The Light of Life’

“Life is transparent, warm and swirls randomly like a soft light. And it constantly changes…Life illuminates itself and then it begins to illuminates a new life. A sprouted mass of innumerable lights become a flow before long, and then become the part of the life-throb of ages. That ties life, this moment now. ”

Mercedes-Benz Unfold

German production company, Sehsucht admits that in making this new spot for Mercedes Benz “many innocent sheets had to sacrifice their lives for new techniques and colour shadings.” We hope it was at least recycled sheets of paper.
