A short story about living with and as a headless person.
Where ‘Paris is Burning’ meets Hieronymous Bosch. A dip, a shablam, a death drop is when a dancer strikes a pose and dramatically falls on their back. The higher the fall, the spicier the dip. The story follows Shesa Quinn dipping from the top of a skyscraper. Gagged by her stunt, the townsfolk bellow spiral into chaos. Will Shesa land a perfect dip?
A group of creatures are abducted from their natural habitat.
You see a girl or you don’t. But at least you know she is afraid of touching people. Now she is going on a journey to overcome her fear from the past to the present, from pain to relief. Running across the snow, hiding in an apartment and going to the sea.
A young woman who lives in her thoughts goes back to the sea to centre herself. As she dives into the water, she dives under her skin and penetrates her psychological wrapping.
With real testimony from a Korean prostitute, this beautiful painted animation explores what it is like to be the subject of other people’s pleasure.
An unobtainable feeling.
In a poisoned sea, on a forsaken rock, a holy sect seek to bring about a new era, but Morgan quickly discovers their intentions are not wholly pure…
An anxious young girl makes her way through Brixton market. Memory and fantasy slowly weave themselves into the chaotic street scene, engulfing her into a sinister world of talking fish, weeping sunflowers and a suspiciously haunting grin.
I came up with the whole story by listening to a foreign radio fm in which a narrator told a story about in a language I didn’t understand. Whilst listening to the piece bit by bit, I was able to feel the atmosphere, I somehow understood what it was about and wanted to translate it to myself.
Aamuhämärä is my animation for the Rhythmanalysis elective at Royal College of Art. Aamuhämärä is the Finnish word for dawn, but directly translated it means morning-dusk/-darkness/-gloom, which captures the feeling I wanted to visualize in my animation.
