Emanuele Kabu’s new animated experiment Glimpses holds a viewer’s attention despite being not only dialogueless, but also soundless.
The one-minute piece creates its own surreal landscape through a variety of minimalist biomorphic shapes that interact with a straight line in the middle of the screen. Each of the shapes leaves behind a trail of ghostly dithered dots and lines.
Kabu, who is based in in Belluno, Italy, tells Cartoon Brew that the idea for the project was to create an “animated postcard of the places I’ve been, or where I dreamed of being during the production period.” He made it in between commissioned projects.
