Synopsis
Director Haemin Ko, Ma character Animation Graduation film at Central Saint Martins
No Body is an autobiographical short animation film poem
This is an experimental charcoal animation , story is giving a thought of City and me through 3 emotional chapter of excitement/ frustration/ hope.
The Poem is about city and me through 3 emotional chapter of excitement/ frustration/ hope. It has mainly giving a think our loneliness and (dis)connections. What does it mean to belong, to be part of a whole? Fingers and head are part of a body. A body is part of a person. A person is part of a family. A family is part of a community. A community is part of a city. A city is part of a nation. And so on. What happens when we stretch, bend or break these links? The body -as well as the city- is not just matter. It’s movement and gesture, it flows. It feels. It changes. It is creative and destructive energy at the same time. A lonely body. sometimes in sync with other bodies. sometimes not. A body that defies and confronts the city. It can be swallowed, disassembled and transformed… when does a body cease to exist? Composed by three sequences or micro-acts, No Body doesn’t follow a conventional narrative story but rather an emotional pulse that oscillates from excitement down to frustration until it emerges again - filled with hope.
It’s a journey of a body in the city, through the city, with the city. The combination of the music, the poem and the fast-paced life-drawings offers us a sublime artistic experience and invites us to wonder about our own place in life.
