UNLITH

HD 8′ 2007, ANIMATION / EXPERIMENTAL

Des hommes et des chiens noirs évoluent dans un univers onirique, froid et hostile. Des tensions se créent, circulent entre les lieux. C’est un dialogue abstrait, nourri d’agressivité et de gestes semi-rituels qui se déclenchent et s’annulent réciproquement. Les correspondances qui se créent entre actions et espaces métamorphosent les corps, trompent les lois physiques et transfigurent la matière…

An abstract dialogue between men and black dogs. In this cold and hostile atmosphere, their gestures and reactions cause subtle tensions to arise. Aggression and perplexity mutate the bodies and distort their environment.

MIHAI GRECU . WORKS . GLUCOSE

GLUCOSE

HD 7′ 2012, ANIMATION / EXPERIMENTAL

A l’aide de l’animation 3D mélangée à la prise de vue réelle, “Glucose” refaçonne notre environnement quotidien. Le film dépeint un monde avec des distorsions physiques. La caméra devient le microscope d’un lent diaporama mental et elle saisit différents aberrations de la perception.

Inspiré de la théorie quantique selon laquelle des particules peuvent se trouver à deux endroits en même temps, ce court métrage anxiogène et humouristique à la fois donne naissance à de nouveaux types de relations entre les objets et leur propre propriétés physiques.

Using 3D technology and live shooting, Glucose reshapes our surronding domestic environment. It depicts a place where physical distorsions happen. The camera becomes the microscope of a slow mental slideshow and catches precious moments of perception disorder.

Inspired by the quantum theory where particles can be in two places at the same time in an overlapping state, this anxiogenic and humouristic short gives bitrth to new types of relationships between objects and their own physical particularities

HD 8′ 2012, ANIMATION / EXPERIMENTAL

Quelque part, égarés parmi des majestueux fjords et cimes nuageuses, des mystérieux monuments postmodernes témoignent d’une ambiguë présence humaine ayant tenté de modifier le paysage au profit d’une symbolique idéologique abstraite. Ce film est à la fois une mise en image des oeuvres d’un “land art” utopique, une critique de la société de consommation ainsi qu’un détournement de l’imagerie contemporaine des catastrophes.

Dry Gigantic adandoned amusement parks and abstract commercial displays are hidden somewhee between foggy moutains and windy fjords. From these places, a mysterious colorful tsunami appears, flooding the majestic landscape underneath it.

Des étendues désertiques portent les stigmatent d’un meta-conflit, au-delà des controverses politiques ou idéologiques visibles. Un état de crise continu et inexplicable envahit l’espace, transformant les paysages minéraux en scène de guerre. L’histoire du pétrole prenant le dessus sur l’histoire.

Dry landscape are filled with the traces of a meta-confld any visible political or ideological issue. A continuous and unexplainable state of crisis takes over the spaces and the view, transforming pure mineral geography into a theater of war. The story of oil taking over history.
