Expanding Animation
Under the Expanding Animation heading, HAFF hosts nine extraordinary animation installations; every one of them amazing combinations of animation, film and fine arts. These ingenious applications of animation involve new narrative practices and new ways of experiencing moving images.
In the short period that HAFF has been organising Expanding Animation, it has reached a high level internationally, featuring works by upcoming talent, but also by establish celebrities. HAFF shows a triangle in cross-over art from Asia (China and Taiwan), Eastern Europe (Poland and Croatia) and the Netherlands. Firmly rooted in their native countries and (recent) history, these art works at the same time boast an international, contemporary character.

The Resonance
The film was made in the technique of stop-motion animation. Technically speaking the realization of “Resonance” can be also described through the process of transformation that the image underwent: from the video registration, through the separation of the stills in the computer, then printing of these different stills, achieving a new physical form, and then photographic registration in a studio, again returning to the computer and editing in order to achieve the format of a film.
I read and thought about different physical theories that propose parallel worlds, about the disputes whether the world has continuous structure (analogue) or non-continuous (discrete). I had a lot of time for those meditations because the work on the animation required performing arduous tasks, which without some “material” in the head would have been beyond endurance. For keeping the balance I read also different literature, Robert Walser’s, among others. The film was being made parallelly. It was meant to be just like a strange theory made up during a crazy stroll when the world seems beautiful.
