Fossilis (2023) Hyundai artlab
Teuku Mirza
Animation for Fossilis (2023) by Riar Rizaldi, Commissioned by Hyundai Artlab for the 5th VH Award 2023
Transition of the character from live-action into 3D
Fossilis is an oneiric cinema, a phantasmal science-fiction prognosis, an essay film and a tale of the verdant inferno of technological legacy, resonating the complexity of electronic waste in the 21st century of Asia where most of the discarded electronics—due to the planned obsolescence—in the planet is dumped and buried. With live-action sets built from waste materials, scenes from flea market of cannibalization parts, 3D assets and environment from abandoned projects and AI images generated from thousands of unused images from a personal dataset, Fossilis offers more than just concepts, narratives, and representation of e-waste as an issue, but also engages in the process, development, and modes of film production that involves actual, both digital and physical, waste and e-waste objects as means of artistic practice.
Full film available worldwide at Hyundai Artlab.
