Ten minutes in the atelier of a painter is just enough time for a dance of drawn objects to invade the entire screen. A fun stop-motion animation about the tools we use, mass production and our basic and false needs.

Ten minutes in the atelier of a painter is just enough time for a dance of drawn objects to invade the entire screen. A fun stop-motion animation about the tools we use, mass production and our basic and false needs.  

Grands Canons. The era of mass production in a stop motion   

An ordinary pencil. A teapot. A wooden hammer. A spatula. All these items are part of our daily life and, in this animation, all of them are painted by the skillful hand of a great artist.  

The drawings of hundreds of these objects come alive and begin to dance irremediably in front of our eyes. It is the unstoppable carousel of industrial production.  

For the first time in a long time, this short film makes us wonder about the scale of the material world we inhabit.
