Lyrical animation exploring the relationship between body and mind
Animation & Artists Moving Image 2017 5 mins
Overview
Travelling through hidden spaces, a character changes shape, dancing through spirals of emotion and intimate memory. Using hand-drawn animation to create a colourful canvass of abstract expression, Lola Danon takes us on a journey of the mind and asks in which dimension we can truly be free.
She collaborates here with her sister Nina Danon, composer of the stirring and autumnal score.
