Untitled 2007/03, Lenght: 1 Min 15 Sec, Original format: HDTV
This video animation unfolds a very simple and visual idea. Someone's attention is being divided between two things. For a certain time period he is constantly craning his neck up and down.
Then, he finds a solution by stretching his face in opposite direction at the same time in order to the watch both things at a time.
The way the nose and one eye of the character stretches (not only in the end but each time) was the core motivation for making this video: something a little bit funny, a little bit clumsy (or easy), and just something rather surprising.

Untitled 2007/02, Lenght: 1 Min, Original format: HDTV
This video work is meant to be projected in portrait format as a looped video where the beginning and the end are invisible.
Basically the attention and the perception of the viewer are challenged as it presents a scene with very little movement. From time to time it’s actually completely static, until one notice the character placed on the forehead of the head is dimly breathing.
