Darwin

Animation / Stop Motion  / 03:55 mins / 2017

The film is an experiment with abstraction and figuration. With various shapes and texture created by different materials, it aims to remind people of the emotional impacts that lights and shadows place on them.

Using stop-motion animation technic, it’s a collabrated work with artist LIAO Jiaming.
