Koyaanisqatsi is a 1982 experimental documentary directed by Godfrey Reggio with a score by Philip Glass. The film presents a visual journey that explores the relationship between humans, nature, and technology. It opens with serene shots of the natural world, gradually contrasting them with the rapid pace and chaos of modern industrial society. The documentary uses no dialogue, relying solely on stunning imagery and music to convey its message. It critiques the environmental degradation, overconsumption, and alienation caused by technological progress. The film’s title, a Hopi word, translates to “life out of balance.” Through its time-lapse cinematography, it highlights the disconnection between human existence and the earth’s natural rhythms. The work invites viewers to reflect on the consequences of humanity’s dependence on technology. It suggests a loss of harmony and connection with nature as society grows more mechanized. Ultimately, Koyaanisqatsi is a powerful meditation on the imbalance between modern civilization and the environment.**************************************************************
