Hedgehog's Home

In a lush and lively forest lives a hedgehog. He is at once admired, respected and envied by the other animals. However, Hedgehog’s unwavering devotion to his home annoys and mystifies a quartet of insatiable beasts: a cunning fox, an angry wolf, a gluttonous bear and a muddy boar.

Beetle, Ship, Apricot

The story is about two city boys who spent their summer holidays in a village where everything is so unusual and new. Here all the wildlife is at a glance: both large and small beetles, which can sometimes land right in the soup, and a real turtle that hides in its house from danger, and an apricot that gives ripe fruits similar to a small sun. And there is also an interesting place — the attic, where you can find a lot of old things. But soon the summer will end and mom will take the children back to the city...

Eggy

The Eggy Robot project aims to synthesize a robot of which artistic appearance and emergent behaviours make us feel and imagine the emergence of primeval organisms. Of all the computer animators that pursued the goal of wild, virtual exotica, none could equal the overwhelming, needlepoint visual intensity of Kawaguchi’s work. One of the world’s leading researchers into 'blobby organic modelling, he depicted a world composed of molten, shape-shifting organs without a body.

Not Even Nothing Can Be Free of Ghosts

Rainer Kohlberger’s abstract film was created entirely without a camera. Through digital algorithms, he precisely arranged a rhythm of light and shadow that pulsates off the screen into our physical space with blinding intensity. The presence of light is almost felt as we are sucked into the image to become its ghostly accomplice. As we leave the theatre, the optical vibrations continue to haunt us.
