Grapefruit (2026)
shown at GradEx 111. poem taken from Rock Music.
the opening animation is inspired by the title sequence of Pierrot le Fou (1965). the latter section is inspired by the cinematography of Michael Maziere and Paul Clipson. the score is made up of piano, organ, my dad’s tape recorder, background voices, and cat meows.
