VOGUE Deutsch: Gender Revolution
I recently had the pleasure of working with and being profiled on VOGUE Germany, alongside some brilliant Berlin women for this excellent project.
“Gender Revolution” features videos and interviews with the wonderful Laetitia Duveau of Curated by GIRLS, Lyra Pramuk, Hengameh Yaghoobifarah, and EylĂĽl Aslan.
I created a collage-animation GIF for each woman profiled, using portrait photographs by EylĂĽl Aslan and footage from the videos. The GIFs featured on Vogue Germany’s website, instagram and facebook page.
Many thanks to Vogue Germany, Nike Germany and Glutamat Kommunikation.
Nike Cortez: Beautiful x Powerful
In celebration of the iconic Nike Cortez’s 45th birthday I made some collages working with photographs taken by Eylül Aslan.
The collages featured on Material Magazine accompanying an interview with Laetitia Duveau of Curated By GIRLS, as part of the Nike Beautiful x Powerful campaign.
The elements in each collage include personal items belonging to the models and places they love in Berlin.
Thanks to Curated by GIRLS, Glutamat Kommunikation, and Nike Germany.

Music Video: Les Hommes – Queen Fez
Here is an animation I recently made for London based jazz exotica trio Les Hommes.
“Queen Fez” was nominated in the “Best Experimental” category of the 2017 Berlin Music Video Awards.
Rory More of Les Hommes describes the song as “a heady dose of gritty oganatronic mondorama with touches of Shearing-meets-Monk on a pub piano.” The song was recorded live at Bark Studio and will be available from April 7th on their new LP “The Sinner”
I really loved creating this weird-world eggimation, especially the pool party and keyboard scallop scenes…and the mini golf egghead scene, and the flippity-floppity fish dish…it has it all. Thanks for the inspiration Queen Fez and Les Hommes!
Music Video: Urbanity – Don’t Look Back
Music video I animated and directed for the song “Don’t Look Back” by Urbanity (Albare and Phil Turcio).
Beyoncé Formation World Tour
I was commissioned to create animated content for Beyoncé’s Formation World Tour. My work screened on the 20 x 20 metre video monolith during the performance of her song Countdown, the animation was a collage of footage from her music videos and Lemonade visual album content.
For the first month of the tour the animation filled the entire screen, I then created revisions turning the animation into a moving border, framing the live footage of her on stage projected back onto the monolith. I attended the concert in Frankfurt am Main, it was incredible and completely surreal to see my work displayed at this scale, and Queen Bey performing in front of it.
Here are some photos of my work from the very first concert of the tour taken by Bryan Kwak, Apr 27, 2016, Marlins Park, Miami, Florida.

Deep Leads – The Orbweavers at ACMI
Recently, Melbourne band The Orbweavers presented Deep Leads, a night of music and archival film footage of Melbourne at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, three of my animations were also included in the screening.
The Poison Garden music video screened along with two other films I made especially for the performance, one for The Orbweaver’s song Periods Of Light and Rock, and another for their song Radium Girls.
Radium Girls tells the 1917 story of female factory workers who contracted radiation poisoning from painting watch dials with self-luminous paint at the United States Radium factory in New Jersey, the animation will be reworked and released as a proper music video some time next year.
I was in New York City at the time of the event so didn’t get to attend the performance and unfortunately there isn’t a lot of footage from the night, but here are some stills from the Radium Girls music video…
