States of Matter

Synopsis

States of Matter is an experimental strata-cut animation crafted entirely from wax and paper. Drawing inspiration from Oskar Fischinger's pioneering wax experiments of the 1920s, the film emerged from the director's creative explorations during his postgraduate studies. In the process, solid sculptures were shaped from liquid wax, only to be systematically broken down and reanimated. The resulting highly magnified macro animations are complemented by a tactile soundscape highlighting the materials' intricate details, textures, and movements.
