Animate Landscapes I - Largo (The Awakening)

This short animation was produced as part of the University of Edinburgh's MArch (architectural design) course which focused on the city of Warsaw between 2007-2009. This project was for an Institute of Experimental Film for the city, with the animation being a film notionally produced by the institute. This was to be the first in a sequence of animations depicting the tempo and rhythm of the landscape. The site selected is part of the post-industrial landscape of Wola, a place frozen outside the chronometric ideals of the encroaching city. Through fiction and fact, temporality and permanence, reverence and disrespect a film studio is conceived, comprising of thirteen separate, disparate structures each related to a specificity of the film-making process, largely inhabiting the periphery of the existing landscape.

A website of the project is forthcoming. The music used is Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts (volume I track 2).
