Wandering dot and the blank square page universe

BELGIUM, LATVIA 2025 6' M/12 desenho, fotografia, stop-motion

An immersive visual poem about a journey within a blank page. Is a blank page ever truly empty? Where does an artwork begin or end? Are you directing the creative flow, or is it leading you? One may feel a creative impulse, but confronting the daunting emptiness as a point of departure is inevitable. The only thing to do is to take the first step… In total, around 15 different tracks make up the final sound mix, containing many more recorded clips and samples to create a rich sonic experience that complements the visuals.
