Cinemallage- pieces that are simultaneously the set and viewing platform for stop animation movies
These works are simultaneously the set as well as the viewing platform for stop animation movies. One chapter of the stop animation movie is filmed on each individual piece. That chapter plays on a video player that is collaged within the piece the animation was filmed on. The series consists of 4 chapters and 4 pieces with the whole animated video lasting approximately 30mins.
The animation is an imaginative tale of a young mans journey through a future utopian fantasy world where he learns how the power of imagination can make a change in the world around him. This story employs the naïve language of fairytale as a vehicle to engage several real issues in today’s society evoking hope and community in a trying time of uncertain future.
