This is a short film I submitted as my final project for my Art 134 class.
Its inspired by the works of Cildo Meireles with a focus on his pieces "Insertions into Ideological Circuits", "Volatile" and "Fontes".
It also has a varied soundtrack featuring Philip Glass, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Aphex Twin with a nod to music video director, Chris Cunningham.
This is a rocking short video I made featuring a legoman going on an "existentialist journey in a postmodern world"..... - Anyway it features the music of The Blazing Violets! Pink Floyd! Jimi Hendrix! and Philip Glass!
