Katagami
Japan, 2016, 3min.
This stop-motion animation was made by photographing and
re-photographing antique kimono resist-dyeing stencils in positive and
negative. A joyful play with optical illusions, small variations in the
repeating pattern elements generate apparent motion. Photographed on Super 8 and hand-developed using matcha (powdered green tea).
