Short film Adrift

Adrift is shot on the arctic island of Spitzbergen and in Norway. It combines time-lapse photography with stop-motion animation of the landscape. Through camera-angles and framing the film gradually dislocates the viewer from a stable base where one looses the sense of scale and grounding. Adrift takes perception itself as the subject of its journey.
