Lior Shkedi is an animator and illustrator from Israel belonging to the Y generation. As such, his works are influenced by animation of the 90's, time-for-failure experimental consoles, and the study of outer space. These days Lior is living and working in The Netherlands, and teaches animation and storyboard in TU Delft.
This project is sort of a reaction to the recent era we are living in, of isolation and lockdown, and it performed like a fortress for me in the foreign country i'm currently living in - The Netherlands. In the year of 2020, without speaking the tongue, barely knowing anyone, and without a steady job, I felt as if I'm walking completely alone. While working on this music video, which started as pure improvisation, I started to question about the meaning of being alone, and what is the significance of expressing myself through art, in my own survivability.
