Stop Motion in Sunday Traffic
poetic reading
… A stop-motion film for and with the lost, the forgotten, the fugitive, the torn, the stuffed, the right, the unsupervised, the alarmist, the arrived, the rejected, the returnees, the excluded and the chosen. "Don't leave your luggage unattended!" demand the announcements that make you afraid of the contents of the travel bags. We say: "Leave your luggage there..." Back, left, behind him. Travel light!
Objective description
This film was created in a former railway waiting hall using stop-motion techniques, with a large number of borrowed pieces of luggage. The bags and suitcases interact with each other, forming a pull, an orchestra, and a wave that disappears out of the frame.
Plausible association
This film evokes thoughts on migration, exploration, expedition, commuting, families or friends apart, temporary residence, personal belongings, nomadic times, public transport, and the necessities one must carry—or sometimes not possess at all.
Artistic intention
As is often the case in animation, objects take the place of a subject. The lonely handbag evokes the image of a slightly lost person, only to become part of a crowd instantly.
