ANIMALATION is an expanded cinema project that treats the moving image as a living system. Working across performance, CGI, sound, and environment, the work explores how cinema can operate through affect rather than story — unfolding through scale, rhythm, movement, musicality, and feeling.
The project circulates across formats, including a large-scale public billboard installation in Los Angeles, where the moving image exists durationally in the city. CGI is used as a mode of world-building rather than representation, allowing meaning to emerge gradually through attunement as viewers learn to inhabit the image on its own terms.
ANIMALATION consists of one-of-one, 10-second moving image works composed of 300 frames from IF NOT NOW. Each exists as motion and residue, with latent stills that can be isolated or archived. The project unfolds across six volumes, released sequentially over time.
