MATIERICA
A single line drawn in pencil grows and changes its shape as it grows like a living creature. This is a film that explores unexplored territory in the art of animation. One might think that beautiful pictures, a compelling story, and brilliant movement are the three essential elements of a good animated film.
However, the word "anima" from which animation is derived, as we all know, means "to breathe life into". I thought that "life" means "limited time" and that there could be an approach that does not include any of the aforementioned "three elements". The result of several years of exploring new methods was an "animated film" that eschews the so-called "animated" structure. This film aims to visualize "shifting consciousness" through a method of filming in which approximately 5,000 pencil drawings are constantly overlapped"
