Experiencing Interruptions?

DYNAMICS

DYNAMICS (Frozen Movements) is an experimental, dreamy and surreal stop-motion film, created using everyday materials. The film offers a visual reflection on transformations that emerge through the intuitive blending of dissimilar elements. The result is a non-narrative art film where fantasy, form and texture merge into a sensory experience.
This short animation invites viewers to surrender to a world where logic gives way to atmosphere and intuition. The hypnotic soundscape enhances the avant-garde character of the film and leaves plenty of room for personal interpretation.

Director Biography - Teo Baehler

I am a multidisciplinary artist (Art Academy CSIA, Lugano, CH) who positions myself autonomously and vulnerably in relation to the established art world. This mindset grants me the freedom to approach reality from a different perspective and to explore boundaries in search of new narratives and stagings.
By experimenting with the most everyday materials, intuitive processes emerge in which the unknown is embraced and mistakes are seen as sources of inspiration. I favor a hands-on, craft-based approach that allows me to fully express my personality and imagination.

Director Statement

With the stop-motion film DYNAMICS (Frozen Movements) I investigate – both consciously and intuitively – the mutations that arise from mixing and adjusting dissimilar materials.
Each individual DYNAMICS film functions as a timeless, direct reflection of my inner struggle between reason and emotion, between knowledge and intuition.
The film is a compilation of seventeen short stop-motion films, supported by music by the Rotterdam composer and musician J. Dirrix.
