Lavinia Petrache is a self-taught animator originally from Romania, and currently based in Zürich, Switzerland. After a decade-long career in computer science across the United States and Switzerland, she gradually shifted away from technology towards the more poetic universe of animation. “Fracti”, her first short film, is inspired by her own journey of changes.
