Project Detail

Zobeide

Synopsis

A collaboration between animator and musician. The starting point was a conversation between the two about “Zobeide”, a chapter from “Invisible Cities” by Italo Calvino. Sound and animation were made separately based on their creators individual responses to the literature, resulting in two narratives which merge to tell a third.
