2174: Future ruins of an Automated Past- 3D animation

2174: Future ruins of an Automated Past is a project focused on how automation and consumerist culture/ manipulation will impact the future supermarket.

Z Markt is a supermarket in the year 2174, or whatever is left of it. Automation started taking over until human staff was no longer needed and the machines targeted every thought, need or insecurity that people had. Eventually people started revolting and destroying all supermarkets and eventually abandoning them, which resulted in nature taking over these spaces. Z markt is a post dystopian, pre utopic supermarket. 

X Markt is the old supermarket, although similar to supermarkets as we know them, they are older versions, cashiers were still present and automation was at the very beginning.

Therefore we are living in the era of the Y Markt. Between X and Z Markt, heading towards a dystopian future.

Migration Stories- Animation

Migration stories is a short animation series exploring the feeling of belonging (or not belonging) through 3 different stories of 3 different people that have migrated.
An interesting aspect of this project is discovering that the distance factor doesn't really make a substantial difference and the overwhelming feelings that come with migrating are shared more or less.
