The Dying World Project - a work in progress seeking global collaboration
Inscribing my true name into nature, I have to save our dying world.
Dying World tells the story of two women and a child through the diary entries of a third woman. The writer loves the beauty of nature around her but is aware of the inevitability of mankind’s destruction of the world.
In her diary, she writes about a girl in the countryside who is at one with nature and a city-dweller who feels alone in her concerns for the world despite all the people around her with their busy lives. A child sits in his room and ponders the pictures of animals he has been drawing and the knowledge that these animals - and his own future - are in jeopardy if we do not act to save our planet.
But there is hope. A chance meeting between a man reading a mysterious book and the city-dwelling woman could prove to be the spark that changes the future. Backgound
The lyrics and vocals in Dying World were composed by Lauryn Gaet, a songwriter and performer based in Brussels, Belgium. Lauryn sent these to Factor23 in London, who composed and recorded the backing score.
The video was conceived by Rodrigo Jazinski and Maze Design. It was filmed on location in London by Rodrigo with Renzo Vasquez, a Brazilian film director.
