OSSA is an amazing new stop motion film by Milan-based Dario Imbrogno about a puppet being deconstructed in a dance sequence:
“All the world is a stage”. In this theater the dance of a puppet, destructured in time and space, shows us the mechanisms that pulls the strings.
Via the Stop Motion Blog:
OSSA is a short gem from Italian artist Dario Imbrogno, for the creative boutique Withstand Film. Dancing on the line of deconstruction and formation, this piece is a powerful example of the metaphorical capabilities of stop motion artistry. OSSA shows a metamorphosis in the human form, as well as environment. In addition we get a nicely composed sound design to accompany the graceful moves of Imbrogno’s masterful craft.
