Le Bestiaire is a 12-minutes long piece that can be seen as a moving painting, mixing inspiration from both European and Cuban artists. Stepping away from the 3D aesthetics typical from video-mapping, this piece goes back to a more traditionnal way to animate the visual elements. From Hieronymus Bosch to contemporary cuban artists like Belkis Ayón, Le Bestiaire depicts a surreal machinery operated by characters made of bones and shells, all gathered in this ephemeral building brought to life by a digital collage technique.
