My name is Gabriel and I live in Taipei. I lost my wife during an assault. A red-haired man entered my home, smelling of dried fish. He was carrying a weapon ; he used it on my family. Since then, I've been feeling a void ; a whole in my head.

Dark Mixer

  • Japan, 2014
  • 4 min.

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.

A cylinder shaped cup falls and breaks into pieces. Every frame of this recorded movement is then manually translated into a ceramic layer that is made of the original remains of the cup. All the layers are then arranged vertically and glued together, forming a new object that visualizes the destructive moment.

  • 3 min.

"She's Young" works as a ever-morphing tapestry; despite the multiplication of the feminines apparitions, from the teasing seductivelong-haired figure to the heroïc amazones fighting against the forces of nature, the lyrics to "She's Young" tell about one and only women, the muse of the guitariste/vocalist Wout Kemkens.

  • Robbie Cornelissen / Kees Went
  • The Netherlands, 2015
  • 8 min.

Robbie Cornelissen (1954) is known for his large format drawings in which he allows the viewer to wander through complex architectural spaces. He also explores the boundaries of the medium of drawing. The past year he worked with Kees Went on a new animated film: The Black Room. The work consists of sixty animations based on charcoal drawings on paper, in which the themes of perspective and space, abstraction and figuration and the transition from two- to examine three-dimensional are being examined.
