Surface Glaze

2015 • Directed by

Lotte Meret Effinger

Documentary

The short experimental film as an installation captures multiple abstractions of human bodies and transform those with torrents of liquids into unreal creatures. Each frame is composed to raise questions about our concepts of superficiality by deploying extreme technical features as high speed recording and close-ups. These techniques - borrowed from the symbolic language of consumerist culture - are used to expose the cracks in the smooth surface of the canvas for capitalized dreams.
