Private Project

OPIR*withShuShu*

SHORT:
The Projekt Opir (ukrainian: resistance) is an experimental 360 digital hand drawn sound based frame by frame Animation.
Topic of the Soundtrack is the intense and immersive experiences while being confronted with the fullscale invasion in Ukraine. ShuShu is connected to the collective consciousness and a transforming being. In the media of the Fulldome this character can show its mood and personality. It can take us through its magic world and transcended per-spectives.

PERSONAL:
The Projekt Opir (ukrainian: resistance) is an experimental 360 digital hand drawn sound based frame by frame Animation.
Roots of this project are the confrontation for my family and me with the fullscale invasion in Ukraine.

In the stadium of lost and power we were going threw layers of heavy experiences and emotions.

What’s always stays was the mindset of :

«Все буде добре«
„everything will be fine.“
„Alles wird gut“

This phrase kept us together and still gives us hope and empowerment for the community.

In a solidarity soundtrack for Ukraine to fundraise money, my friend "dolph" and me were creating a soundtrack based on the words and states of „все буде добре».

As always music connects people and helps out in heavy times.
So this kind of artistic exploring is also a kind of empowering, connecting and resisting in a way I have never felt before.

To make this experiences more immersive I decided to use the Fulldome as format. Here the viewers are invited to be inside of the work of sound and animations to get in touch with the situations and feelings where you just get lost in powers but need to keep on threw and hold on.

This work is a lovecall for my community, family and friends. Its a reminder for our connections and powers. Being together and in love while these times is the most empowering resistance.

So thank you all for being with me and being with me since then.
