A series about the beauty of sunsets, moonrises, and reflections. Due to the different light conditions during the day the same building can look different each time you look at it. During the retouching process, the buildings get isolated from their environment to bring out the uniqueness of the buildings and to be able to edit the sky. In some cases, they are also manipulated to give it a more surreal touch.
Continue readingTalking Peppers is a black and white art photograph from the series Nus Nous. The image shows peppers recorded in close-up, yet many viewers see human bodies or parts of them. When the print is rotated, the imagined forms disappear and other shapes may be seen instead. The photograph is taken with a large format optical bench camera and microscope optics at very small apertures, which gives a shallow depth of field. The negative is printed by hand on cotton-backed paper and toned with selenium for long durability.
Continue readingZhangyan Country Living Festival is an exhibition space created for a rural event in Shanghai. The layout is formed from old shipping containers that are staggered, stacked, interlaced and rotated to shape varied thematic areas. One group of containers encloses an area for forums, while another group defines an area for a marketplace. Local discarded resources such as wood, straw and reeds are also used. The visual identity follows the Memphis style and abstracts local motifs of mountain, water, fish and bridge. The activity space covers 5000 square meters.
Continue readingPromising Ideas Innovation is a short animation created for Unicef to explain how more young people, especially girls in remote areas, have been connected to the internet. The animation compares the number of men and women who access the internet in developed and less developed regions. It then shows the problems that limited access creates for women in those regions. Complex data is turned into a simple story about one girl and the millions who face the same situation. The animation was produced entirely by computer.
Continue readingSpace Paradox is a conceptual video about the nature and limits of space. The film uses three world forms as its background: the spatial world of entities, the multidimensional world of fractals, and the world of logic and human consciousness. The transformation and overlap of the three forms present a dialectic between entity and vacuum, space and consciousness. The starting point is the question of the edge of space raised by Archytas, together with theories of potential and real infinity. Space Paradox also includes a creative expression of space graphics.
Continue reading134340 is an animated music video created as a fan made project for a Korean pop song of the same name. The song title refers to the asteroid number of the dwarf planet Pluto. In response to the lyrics, the video shows Pluto as a white ball moving through multiple dimensions in space, surrounded by colourful three dimensional shapes that follow the rhythm of the music. Simple geometric forms and keyframe animation at 30 frames per second are used. The flat cel shading art style was produced entirely in the software Cinema 4D.
