The Spider Cave - Animated NFT Art
The first human beings believed that the world ended behind the mountains, when they thundered they thought that the sky would fall on them and they painted animals on the walls of their caves so that the next day they would be there again.
Fear and superstition have always been with us, and with them comes anger; an animal that fears attacks, an ignorant being damages everything that he does not know and a frightened being just hides in his cave and attacks anyone who dares to enter.
The dawn of humanity was quite dark; people could die under the age of 35 from a dental infection, they had a very limited conception of their environment and it was difficult to keep the peace since anything or event could be the subject of dispute.
This was the premise that guided me to develop The Spider Cave, an animated work where I evoke primitive humanity that lived in caves, and where at the same time I refer to the danger of ignorance (which apparently never finished abandoning humanity).
In this work we make a journey of thousands of years into the past, we are going to enter a cave and there we are going to meet those primitive human beings who little by little are going to make their presence known. But this presence is not going to be complete, since they do not face us but we only see their eyes; red and furious eyes, eyes that express the angry attitude of an ignorant animal that launches itself to attack what it does not understand.
Beyond hindsight, what I mean to say is that there are chapters in the history of humanity (contemporary and non-contemporary) that show us that many humans never left the cave of reality and continue to attack or hurt everything they do not understand, for plain ignorance.
The Spider Cave is a critique of all humanity and at the same time it is a profound reflection on why some members of our species behave in the reprehensible way they do.
The title is due to a gallery of caves found in Spain, where valuable cave paintings were found that allowed us to better understand primitive humanity.
This is the first animated work that I tokenized at NFTShowroom. I made the design and animation of the work in Photoshop and exported it as a High Resolution video (1920 x 1280 px). Additionally I exported it with GIF to be able to display it here on my blog.
Once again I thank all my readers, followers and communities that have supported me for joining me. I invite you to enjoy the work in High Resolution at NFTShowroom:
