Mini landscapes strike a balance between the awe we feel before nature and the admiration we feel seeing delicately crafted miniatures.

RADAR International Competition

A classic study of a hand, drawn with charcoal on canvas, starts moving. It is a reflection and amazement about what we feel, sense, form, realize and effect and about who we are. A calm and touching film that leaves a lot of space to trace one’s own thoughts, in a certain way archaic but also aesthetic and virtuoso.
