Biography
Daan Lucas (He/Him, 1997) is an animator and illustrator living in Utrecht, the Netherlands. His work is playful and bouncy, and works hand in hand with music and sounds. With a silly naivety, he approaches more serious topics that play a role in our world. Topics such as ecology and climate change, human history and future, and mental health. It is precisely this combination of childishness and maturity that makes his work unique.

Vivarium
A short animated film that shows the life cycle of the seemingly useless organoid. The beauty of its movements, its character, its dry lips, and so they are all part of life. Beautiful isn’t it? Yes, it is."
