click for sound.

These are some elements from an animation I started with David Kotker durring my participation in the New Atlantis festival.

We were introduced in a hospital where he was awaiting a liver transplant. We had to sneak around to find a place where we could record our sound. After several furtive attempts were stopped by the night watchman, we were offered an empty closet by a sympathetic nurse. In about 15 minutes we made the entire sound recording, an improvisation of David who responded to my prepared questions. I was very excited by his thoughtful and playful answers, the way he assumed his roles so easily.

The art is inspired by illuminated manuscripts of monks which I found in a dutch archive. Here is a link>
