Cleverly playing with the tension between the visual and audio discourse, Cobalt Blue by Diana Miron delivers a captivating reflection on the connection between aesthetics and the body. Starting from the root of the word aesthetics as an experience of the senses, the voiceover muses on various philosophical views on the topic, while the artist’s performative body undergoes an inner transformation which ironically addresses the viewer's scopophilia. Intelligent, ludic and sensual at the same time, Cobalt Blue will stay imprinted in our sensorial memory, existing in that elusive area where the artist, the work and the audience meet and change one another. As the film says, we are fundamentally aesthetic beings, we are embodied beings, we are beings that exist in this way - we sense, we care about these senses, we are transformed by them and our actions and view of the world are shaped by that. (Adina Pintilie, BIEFF)
Director:
Diana Miron (born in 1989) is a young artist with a background of classical and contemporary music. Her interest for visual arts and media variety happens in a natural way, seen as an extension for a socio-political context in which her development as an artist rejected the conventional stylistics, choosing therefore to create through sound exploration, improvisation (single or collective) and performance art. As in beginning, her works respond directly with the source of the environment, highlighting the clarity of the moment and present, and the relation between objects and the nature of being.

Director's statement:
Far from the intention to emanate sexuality, Cobalt Blue combines two frames, favoring a parallelism of ideas, reaching instead a space of comfort and vulnerability; a human fragility completely permeable to everyday fireworks that give the illusion of meaning, obstacles to spiritual elevation. The climax is numb and it follows a road between ignorance and helplessness and vice versa. The aesthetic insensibility, coming from the assimilation derived from the synthetic mundane (whether it is subliminal or undisguised) and the human alienation opposite the semantic oscillation in the collective consciousness of the concept of time becomes a perpetual violence towards information.
