  • Abstract Horror

It takes inspiration from the current philosophical and scientific discourse, and it borrows heavily from the aesthetic of New Age esoteric cults.In particular, the film is a portrait of philosopher Nick Land, one of the founding fathers of leftist accelerationism who has in recent years left the West for China to become an adamant alt-right supporter, trying to bring about the end of civilization.

  • Alice in Arizona

    The Alice of fifties animation visits the Wild West of fifties live action, but only through persistence of vision, they never meet in the same frame. The original Alice and the original Wild West were contemporaries too.

  • Song Lines

    The sound of clapping hands and voices of two African girls orchestrate the thickness of vertical black lines. Colour fringes appear over the white spaces between the lines, making it also work as an installation piece.
