Run Run Run

Run Run Run is the cinematic reanimation of a flip book that was published by Kuoni Travel Ltd. in 2009 and distributed as a giveaway. The flip book was part of the rebranding of the Kuoni Future Lab, which set new standards in tourism marketing under the slogan Perfect Moments.
Run Run Run is based on the 40 individual images of the disassembled flipbook and animates them into a film that suggests an endlessly running group of children in its sequencing and changing image sections, thereby placing the neo-colonial staging of the source material in a critical discourse.
