Joy of Man's Desiring (2018)

1-channel HD-video made with video game recordings and 3D-animation.





A remix of Bach’s 'Jesu, joy of man’s desiring' lies as soundtrack to this video game collage/3D-animated short film about the malfunctioning avatar of a man glitching through a capitalistic metropolis. On his path to transcendence he is lashed into the sky by a mysterious force. At the other side of his death awaits a new world, filled with youth and adventure: but also of further suffering and domestication.
