For my graduation project I am planning to make a short stop-motion animation with sound where I will try to visualize how people deal with their memories. This project is a continuation of my last project 'Portrait of an empty house' and I probably will use the same technique.

In Portrait of an empty house I experimented with how to show different times and different worlds in one image. I tried to show how memories define a known space. The space is given this extra layer of the past by using a Plexiglas screen (+/- 140x200 cm) to put a drawn animation upon using oil paint.

You see a girl/woman pushing a big Plexiglas screen around in an almost empty house, while memories appear in form of a drawing on the screen. In the beginning she is actively involved with the drawing, but is more passive in the course of the film, while her white dress gets more black.
