Panic in Nowhere

An experimental animation in which thousands of artifacts from the collections of small museums are brought to life in an animated history of human endeavor.

The absurd wealth of typical tourist photos that can be found online allows for new forms of archaeology. A frame-by-frame reconstruction of generic behaviour. Although the animation of photos can never become a surrogate for the restoration of ancient ruins, it does reveal all sorts of patterns and references.

This film experiment focuses on the non-obvious character of movement when transferred to an alien object thus endowed with the life derived from the movement's true-to-life source.
