Synopsis
Inspired by the poem A Snail in a Phone Box (2006) by Dr Eric Lui. The work synthesises new insights into visuals and poetry. What begins as a promise evolves into an exploration of the emotional links between poetry and the art of loving, eventually transforming into a hegemony of power. To recreate this message, director and animator Step C. developed a new surreal style that combines live action with animation, building a realm that blurs the boundaries between reality and dreams.
