Overview
The first of a trilogy, this animated media film embraces novel production and broadcasting methods to embrace a non-narrative, open form. FOREIGN BODIES was created using video light painting and modern medical imaging (CT, MRI, cryosection), generating a mythical landscape of transparent bodies, and instilling a sense of strangeness that our own bodies can sometimes inspire.
