Solis Score
"Solis Score" is a 3D animation that positions light and shadow as equal protagonists in a visual exploration of the passage of time.
By combining textures and CGI effects the piece builds upon the concept of a digital sundial, inviting for reflection on the abstract nature of time itself.
It’s About Time
Time is universal and yet so surprisingly subjective. While it flies by in moments of joy it seemingly stands still during moments of fear.
As we age, it appears to accelerate, and emotionally charged experiences can feel elongated in our memory.
How can we understand time when our emotions, age, and memories have the power to warp our perception of it?
"It’s About Time" is a frame-by-frame animation that delves into the visual perception of time’s passage.
Through brief scenes, it explores phenomena such as the ebb and flow of tides, the changing of seasons, or the growth of a notably long beard. Set against the backdrop of a bustling shopping street, the animation invites viewers to pause and contemplate the subjective nature of time perception.
A TALE OF STONES
Can space over time be connected and made accessible in an object? A mass storage medium for memories? Do stones form this bridge from space to time? Stones are universally common objects, just a collection of minerals. They are inevitably changing due to erosion. Removed from their natural environment, detached from the flow of time, they become an objectlike snapshot of time itself.
Te saxa loquuntur - 'The stones will speak of you'
The video work “A TALE OF STONES” combines stylized, 3-dimensional replicas of stones
with their illustrated locations. The memories of a hike over a volcano, the sea, a marble
quarry and a pleasant Sunday in April are manifested through illustration and animation.
Boxes full of stones, fragments of time, bring memories back to life.
Preserved
"Preserved" is an experimental short film that explores the relationship between the forest and time through the use of 3D scanning technology.
The video visualizes the temporal change and permanence of the forest and thus makes the dynamics and transient processes of nature visible.
It invites viewers to experience the depth and complexity of the forest from a new, digital perspective and to reflect on the effects of time on nature.
Time will
Time will Tail* is a vibrant 1-minute looping take on the nuances of our relationship with time and our animal companions.
The compiled sequence of video contributions invites the viewer to identify the corporeal against temporality through rhythmic sequences and living texture vignettes. In the humdrum of our simultaneity and productivity-driven encounter with the world, the instinctive embodiment of presence, living alongside non-human animals, offers a contrary insight into our habit of quantifying fleeting moments. It encourages us to "take our time" – which would imply it does not belong to us in the first place. Furthermore, it seeks to dilute rigid temporal constructs by lingering in the present moment over dwelling in the past or future. This project is a gentle resistance against conventional perceptions of time and celebrates our brief shared existence with and as animals.
