Freeze frame: the most absurd technique since the invention of the moving image. Through an elaborate process of duplicating the same image over and over again, it creates the illusion of stillness. In this stop-motion film, identical figures try to perform the hopeless task of preserving blocks of ice, like archivists. The repetitive movements reanimate the animals captured inside the blocks.

A group of men in white accompany a young woman in a strange procession. In this dark landscape, a biological world on perpetual motion will transform her body.

Now they are building a new society, but it seems history is repeating itself… Travelling Country is an animated fantasy fairy-tale about the quest for identity and freedom.

Apocalyptic battle among ravenous monsters, B-series saints, crooked friends, inept godheads, resuscitated punk rockers

On Utö, the southernmost inhabited island in Finland, an unusual love triangle is taking shape. What's the difference between dance moves sparked by joy and wild movements driven by rage?

Abstract film made from the video capture of a live animation performance presented in Vienna on May 30th 2011 at the Stadtkirche with Andrea Martignoni in the context of the Vienna Independent Shorts Festival. It was a double performance where parts engraved directly on ± 16mm black film are inserted on a background made with the help of a live mixing software. The film is based, on the one hand, on a process of condensation and densification of the original footage of the performance that serves as a departure for interventions that intensify its energetic potentialities.
