Mr. NULLUS from NUSQUAM

The project is a synthesis of pictures and poems, set in motion by the film. While referencing back to the work of Brother Quay and Jan Svankmajer in terms of stop-motion animation compositing techniques, the project will combine the live-action and the digital-made to form a hybrid image that emphasizes the tactile experience of a Mimicry and legendary psychasthenia dream. An emphasis on the image, the rejection of classical convention, and close interaction with literature, theatre, and the visual arts. The space itself becomes objective humor, humor that is neither abstract nor cynical since it springs from the depths of a reality that has turned sour.
