The Shape of Things to Come

DirectorJen Liu

2010
8 min

The protagonist sits at a vanity table in an empty room, with her back to us. A computer generated voice talks about the circle, square, triangle, line, and dot. Found footage and animation reflect the shapes. These shapes are also painted on her face, and she paints over them, one by one. When she is done, she dances towards a dark doorway, while animated shapes deconstruct, re-organizing themselves as stripes.
