2005
When thinking about putting on my jumper this scene appears in my head, repeating itself endlessly.
This animation was first realized as a flick-book for the Daumenkino Festival 2005 in Linz, Austria. Thereafter it was made into a one minute short film.
I had wanted to document this scene, which plays in my head for quite some while. It appears when to me when I imagine putting on my jumper but then pulling it all the way down to my ankles and stepping out of it like a pair of pants and repeating the action round and round in circles. And I can’t stop. So I created this short animation to visualise what I see.
Additionally the jumper works as a sort of hole into the past because it’s pattern is made up of all the previous scenes. This was something that was not part of the scene in my head but a result of the process of making it and deciding to make it this way because I like it.
For the flickbook I had the sketches developed as photos to emphasise the fact that they were inspired by ‘pictures’ in my head.
