The Incredible Elastic Man

Karolina Specht
Nieprawdopodobnie elastyczny człowiek
Poland 2013 / 5’

A portrait of a man born with no shape. In time, however, his house starts to feel a bit too small for him, and his work becomes a bit limiting – constantly being deformed and forced to fit into other shapes leads him to rebel. Breaking down barriers, he tries to live independent of the expectations of others, and he fights for the right to individuality. The visually consistent animation may be a metaphor for contemporary human beings, for whom the need to expand is part of their nature.
