PARADISE LOST
Animation Art
2022
An alien creature moves through a dreamlike and unstable landscape, a world that seems ready to collapse at the slightest breath of wind.
This film emerged from my desire to give form to a recurring dream. In that dream, the familiar sensation of falling into the void gradually shifts into something more diffuse: a feeling of precariousness, suspension, and uncertainty that deeply belongs to our time.
From the pandemic to the war in Ukraine, recent history has often felt like a countdown with no clear destination.
This alienated and oneiric landscape is inhabited by strange, fantastic beings, as if they had been entrusted with preserving the last fragile traces of our animal nature.
