As the first character to appear – the Mother – enters a square, gold-walled room, she blends so perfectly into the background that all perspective is lost. The visual order is disarticulated by the reflection of the gold to such an extent that even the woman skin loses its “hold” on solidity.

Monolithic power plants; billowing columns of smoke; the backdrop of a red sun. Sirens is an experimental short documentary that captures Germany’s coal-fired power plants in their final years of generating energy. Shot entirely from helicopters, the film takes us on a journey through industrial wastelands, thus recalling the passage of Ulysses’ boat through the Sirens’ strait. An odyssey through the dystopian industrial world that has left a permanent mark on earth’s ecosphere.

Loosely based on Dante's Divine Comedy, The Divine Way takes us along on the protagonist's epic descent through an endless labyrinth of staircases. As the woman journeys deeper, the staircases mutate, and she is trapped and pulled into their dangerous landscape, conducting us through more than 50 magnificent locations.

A stop-motion animated short film born from the need to represent life within the earth, in a square meter of soil live more than a thousand species of invertebrates that guarantee the decomposition of plant organisms.
