I Move, So I Am

1998 · 8 min

A playful, restless little sketchbook that keeps transforming itself, inviting you to watch drawing become life in constant motion.

Overview
In the beginning there was a hand, and this hand drew other hands, then shoulders, heads, legs and finally, the animator himself. Inspired by a wide range of works of art and styles of illustration, this is a film which is constantly reinventing itself in one continual motion - after all, to draw a "still life" would be like creating an image without life.
