Description

Hunting is my thesis project at IDM, it’s a 10-minute immersive experience that explores themes of self-identity, desire, and spirituality through the metaphor of hunting (Pray/Prey).

Hunting was chosen as an official selection for the Happy Valley Animation Festival and T-Short Animated Film Festival 2024, and received official laurels at the ONED Art/Experimental Film Festival

Hunting combines 3D animation and AI moving images to create a 10-minute installation-based film that reflects on the relationship between myth, identity, and modern values. The installation is a double-sided projection mapping on a circular 360-ring-like screen that hangs from the ceiling, inspired by the rooftop paintings of historical shrines, cathedrals, temples, and mosques.
