Cats make you want to stay in (2015) 
2D Traditional  - PHOTOSHOP


“CATS MAKE YOU WANT TO STAY IN” is a video-installation that encourages the visitors to question themselves about the position animals hold in their environment. It explores what means to live with a non-human being, coexist with it and how this affects the way the space is inhabited; also, how this other presence shapes the place’s own temporality. This piece makes the most of the unique characteristics of the drawing and animation language in such a way that it gives life to the space through video projections.


More about the process

RAM Project Installation Video 
Composer: RockeyKeting
Animators : Karolina Bielskyte ,LuisaCruz, AlexCoad, EwanSchwarz.
Location: Shoreditch Town Hall, THE DITCH, Old Document Store
Running time: 1:30s. ​

The annual collaborative project  with the Royal Academy of Music which involves collaborating with composers to realize a site specific experimental music film. The project was based in the Three Penny Opera from 1928.
Our video projection idea is based on the door that leads from Old Document Store to Rivington Room. We used this opportunity and create a site-specific animation that was projected on top of the Old Document Store door and the sidewall with element from the Bauhaus art movement.
​

We used  two projectors to cover the wall with the door and the corner of the wall on the right.

What the animators say about the piece:
"The conversation between the two mothers gives us an insight about their experience and after sharing their points of view it leaves us feeling uplifted.
As we aimed to show precisely this in the animation we made the little birds complement each other and at the end fit perfectly under their mother wings as they shared a warm and fluffy hug."
