Plot
In this animated short, simple geometric forms as thin and flat as playing cards constantly form and re-form to the sound of the koto, a 13-stringed Japanese instrument.
Sinekatalog’s take
Thin, flat geometric shapes constantly form and re-form to the sound of the koto. An animated visual poem of colour and rhythm. A mesmerizing short for abstract animation fans.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
