Synopsis

Shimamura's abstract animation depicts urban alienation through skyscraper-inspired visuals, Escher-like spaces, and electronic city soundscapes.

Taking inspiration from reticulated architecture of a real modern skyscraper - characterized by the deafening noise of city traffic - Shimamura succeeds in rendering the idea of urban alienation in the abstract. He goes from optical art to spatial concepts similar to the Escher scales, with a sound track of electronic music (among the everyday sounds is a working photocopier).
