Varfix

8min 23sec / color / stereo / January, 2010

A video for music “Varfix” composed by Kensuke Fujii. This music sounds somewhat monophonic, so this video was made such as polyphony in contrast. Animation can make events not only simple but easy to understand. Each elements used in this video separate from the meaning which they have originally, they are used for only representing something dynamic.
