synopsis
A precise stop-motion collage created from fragments of photographs, films, and illustrations presents impressive and sometimes horrific flashes of human and animal imagery, metamorphoses of bodies, and insect fantasies. The rhythmic visual composition is accompanied by a distinctive sound texture.
“I think I said "Yes". I think I said (I... insect... scare... bird... eye... tear... thing... heartbeat... centaur... dream... mylove...) Yes.” — Pere Ginard
