Joan Miró

A film from the series „Impressions” made using classical and combined animation inspired by the paintings of Joan Miró. Deformed shapes – ideograms from Miró’s pictures are traveling in an undefined space. The Sun and the Moon symbolise the Elements connected with the Universe – activity during the daytime and the magic of the night, the eternal relationship of the light and the dark. Birds coming back from their sky-hight travels provide a symbolic link between the Universe and the Earth.
