transformations

A beautiful short film created from a collection of abstract charcoal drawings produced by Bristol based artist David Shutt over a period of 3 years. Intense detail flashes by at a blinding pace, inspired by Techno music and Nietzsche.

"After I finished my degree 3 years ago, I continued to make the abstract charcoal drawings which during the time of my degree had only really been a sideline. The charcoal drawing much as I enjoyed doing it, was something I felt discouraged from following through on the course since I didn't really feel that is satisfied the intellectual climate."

"The animation, which is just the starting point for a lot more work, came about through a desire to take what I saw as the impetus behind my drawings and translate it into a more dynamic form. The sentiment that I would most like to express with my work is this - to truly change, to truly embrace what is other, to long for this is to break with what I am, to transcend what Nietzche calls "the will to nothing"."
