Compound Eyes of Tropical
This stop-motion animation is inspired by the costumes of Taiwan’s ceremonial folk dance performers. Originally adapted from the Southeast Asian folktale “The Mouse Deer Crosses the River”, the work integrates folklore narratives from different countries to create the half-mouse deer, half-fox shaman puppet dancer in the animation. The dancer switches back and forth between human and animal, using his wit to fool the crocodiles in the river, in an attempt to reach the other side.
