An animation project based on a real dream reflecting the text- and image relation of cinematographic approaches. The typographic film as a anti-film refuses the expectations of the audience to receive a full depicted situation. The text-sound marriage creates in a paradoxical way audiovisual conceivable material without using real film footage. In one way the animation relates to the linear text used in books – It provokes imagination processes. And in another way it is equivalent to a sequence of film, where objects and actions are positioned in a frame.

Markus Soukup (1974, Germany) is a video and sound artist living and working in London since 2012. He is interested in processes of perception and explores various methods to create communicative structures situated at an indistinct border between narrative and non-narrative. Fascinated by the screen as a window opening up to virtual spaces he searches for new ways of constructing and installing ‘situations’ or ‘(mental) objects’ in real and digital space(s). He mainly works with video, animation, sound design, electronic music & field recording, typography and digital photography.
