BORDERS

Japan 2022 14 mins OV - Without dialogue

Propelled perpetually forward, an entity ambles through an austere labyrinth littered with traces of time gone by. Absorbing and emulating the detritus, it constantly assumes new forms as it seeks its final incarnation. Award-winning stop-motion animator Katsushi Bowda, best known for his ROBOT PULTA vignettes on the NHK network in Japan, activates a chain reaction of transformations that’s rife with potent symbolism. – Rupert Bottenberg
