Three Ghosts Slept Here
'Three Ghosts Slept Here' is a journey through an old spook house, animated with charcoal drawings and stop-motion. A black line meanders through the hallways, interacting with the house in funny and spooky ways.
The location inspired me to make this film: 'Les Anciens Thermes' is a former hotel and spa in France, where a residency with artists from South-Korea, France and Germany took place. Starting in the room where I slept, the story was created spontaneously, interacting with existing wall drawings and objects. In the end it arrives at a source under the house that contains sparkling water (which led to the construction of the spa in the 17th century). This is, where the ghosts come from.
