…there was a man who traveled out of life
on a quest into spaces whither the world’s dreams had fled.
| This is basically the narration of H.P. Lovecraft’s short story Azathoth. The story is told by superimposed text, while the animated silhouette of a man plays Gnossienne No.1 by Eric Satie.
There’s not much more than that. Nevertheless, the “sum of the parts” has on me an appeal that I am myself unable to explain. “Bum Lee is an animation artist and illustrator, born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1984 and emigrated to the United States with his family in 1990. He graduated from Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Art in May 2006.” |
Fondamentalmente è la narrazione del racconto di H.P. Lovecraft, Azathoth. La storia viene raccontata da testo sovrimpresso, mentre la sagoma di un uomo suona Gnossienne No.1 di Eric Satie.
Non c’è davvero molto altro. Eppure, la “somma delle parti” ha su di me un fasciono che neanche io so spiegarmi bene. “Bum Lee è un animatore ed illustratore, nato a Seoul, in Corea del Sud, nel 1984 ed emigrato negli Stati Uniti con la famiglia nel 1990. Si è laureato alla School of Art presso la Carnegie Mellon University nel maggio 2006.” |

I’m sorry to say… but I think that was quite a let down. If that was just a part of it ok, but for it to be the whole thing, I was quite unimpressed.
Of course this is coming from someone who has not done anything as of yet…
I was looking forward to so much more… it being a HPL story and all…
I know. I was kind of (not really…) apologizing in the post. But the unspoken deal on this blog is that when I like something, I post it, no matter what!
Anyway, his latest work is not bad at all:

I so wish I could hear/see/read the whole piece again- It is so beautiful and haunting.
Is there any chance you could upload the whole video? -It’s such a wonderful piece and this one minute excerpt doesn’t do it justice.
Regards.
