‘Black tape’ explores the theme of domination.
In an entangled tango, the victim and victimizer dance, occupying the frame and the space between brushstrokes.
It is the second part of a trilogy starting with ‘White tape’ (shown at KLIK 2010).
The motif in this animation is Transmigration. Alchemy tells us that any material must first be reduced to its pre-differentiation condition for itself to change. If transmigration is defined as a change to a new birth after death, this process resembles that of mixing various materials in an unknown (dark) mixer. Dissolve and then coagulate! Short lived light will make its tracks.
Havana is occupied by foreign forces and on the edge of civil war. Lazaro, a kid from the slums, walks us through his streets and reveals the chaos that has taken over the capital.
A psychedelic drama about a chimney sweeper and a burning woman.
Fairytale full of light, magic and nostalgia. A clay doll awakens her surroundings that become a syrreal world in constant flow of change. Shot with natural light the visible changes of daylight emphasize the passing of time in the film.
Colors and animations drive you deeper and deeper into vinyls
