Still Life with Woman, Tea and Letter / Stil leven met vrouw, thee en brief / Tihožitje z žensko, čajem in pismom

Tess Martin (Volya Films)

2022, The Netherlands, 2'14''

A photograph is a window into the past, but sometimes the border between the past and the present is not entirely clear. This stop-motion animation invites us to think about our relationship to time by portraying one woman caught in the middle.

Fotografija je okno v preteklost, a včasih meja med preteklostjo in sedanjostjo ni povsem jasna. Ta stop animacija nas vabi k razmisleku o našem odnosu do časa skozi portret ženske, ujete v sredini.
