BlackBox: Sasha Svirsky

Sasha Svirsky is one of the most fascinating contemporary artists of European animation and a painter. Svirsky’s prolific film work consists of over 40 short, experimental animations and music videos. His particular „anti-aesthetics“ may be described as a blissful, energetic and raw stream of visual metaphors reporting from the harsh environment surrounding the artist-trickster.
