Moving in unison but not connecting
Made after a friend died, commissioned by the Melbourne anatomy museum and shown in the room displaying the body parts.
In response to the death of a friend, and the grieving nature of that. Dedicated to Mitch Callaghan.
Public transport, and the layers of society you sometimes don’t see, because you’re not aware of what other people are going through on a crowded train. Some of those people may have experienced the same kind of trauma as you, but you have no way of communicating that or getting it across.
It displays the different elements where that can happen. Sport games, crowded trains, highways. Mass events where humans are all moving in unison but not connecting, not looking each other in the eye.
Commissioned by the Melbourne anatomy museum and shown at an open evening, inside the room displaying the body parts.
The lead singer of Cordrazine saw this one and commissioned the animation he proposed with.
