SHORT

OMPHALION

ART DIRECTION / PRODUCTION

Omphalion (Ομφαλίων) depicts a ‘naval of the earth’, a divine umbilicus which functions as centre of cosmogyny creation.

In this animated short film, we explore a microcosmic locus of alien entities, existing in parallel timescales. Inspired by Greek deities of Khaos, Khronos and Aion, the notions of cyclical time and ritual become embodied into the reawakening of an ancient beast.

Collaboration with Houdini artist Bettina Vöröss (HU).
