A pool in the middle of a desert landscape: a cloud passes by, an animator performs a ballet in front of a deserted pool - otherwise nothing happens here. In minimalist coloured and pencil drawings, Alexander Gratzer ponders the relationship between animation (film) and audience.
A pool with an adjoining strip of greenery - laid out like an oasis in a deserted desert landscape. The only movements in an inanimate wasteland: a passing cloud and the graceful dry ballet performed by an animator in front of the deserted pool. Only soft background music of pleasing piano strumming drowns out the oppressive silence. Has Klaus chosen the wrong profession?
In minimalist coloured and pencil drawings, Alexander Gratzer ponders the relationship between animation (film) and audience and also gives the term claustrophobia a completely new meaning.
