A lullaby before the great disaster. Two pigeons visit a zoo without animals, a snail measures his blood pressure at the doctor’s, in the CERN laboratory something has gone terribly wrong. Six moments of our age, like memories of the world we leave behind.

Freeze frame: the most absurd technique since the invention of the moving image. In this stop-motion film, identical figures perform the hopeless task of preserving blocks of ice, like archivists. The repetitive movements reanimate the animals captured inside.

Three parallel universes are home to three women. One represents the animalistic side of humankind, the other one is a consumer filled with frustration, and the third one lives in a futuristic room where she has to run to keep the system working.

A hypnotizing pendulum sets a particular mechanism in motion. A figure appearing fragmentarily, space and a variety of objects form a rhythmic system of mutual dependence. What is the cause and what is the effect? Stop-motion animation made with threads on a Vaseline-coated glass plate.

A story about the flow and perception of time, told through a children’s game. To win it, a young boy becomes an old man and his life is reduced to a game of hide-and-seek. Poetic visions are created from childhood memories.
