Into the Dark

• Pulnoc (Midnight) / Midnight
  This visually remarkable exploration of the social and psychological implications of light and darkness enters the world of ›darkers,‹ looks at the energy crisis, and presents the director's video journal of life in darkness. In a fragmentary chiaroscuro mosaic, shapes and situations come and go like thoughts flowing through the tranquil mind of a night sky observer. Darkness is both the theme and the stylistic point of departure of a filmic reflection on the supposed benefits of modern, far too illuminated civilization in which people are doomed to wander among ubiquitous lamps ... a documentary about different kinds of eclipse.

• The Fang In The Void Delight / The Fang In The Void Delight
  Loosely based on George Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, the film title is an anagram of the infamous movie. The two parts of the video were originally constructed as a possible introduction and an alternative ending for the original movie of 1968. They bring a new point of view on a classic terror movie, playing with classic elements of fear, horror atmospheres and references to Romero's works.

• Triband /  
  Triband expands the projection screen literally into the viewers’ heads, as the perceived image is not present in the actual animated footage. Multiple instances of objects and scenes appear simultaneously in a blur of truth, like a distant memory, where uncertainty permeates the verity of the beholder.

• Varfix / Varfix
  A video for music ›Varfix‹, composed by Kensuke Fujii. This music sounds somewhat monophonic, so this video was made as polyphony in contrast. Animation can make events not only simple but easy to understand. All elements used in this video are separated from their original meaning; they are used only to represent something dynamic.
