Reflection in Process: Galaxia Short Film Experimental

NOTE: Content may not be appropriate for all ages

Robinson Moreno (VE/CO) spent his time at Surel’s Place working on his animation project “GALAXIA”, which is his first animation short film. He explored and experimented with different media and techniques to achieve a fluid ink on paper visual and animation style.

“This story came from an encounter with the real Galaxia near my home. Me, a skinny teenager and a fan of underground street culture. She, a fat woman in a black dress with pale skin and red lips, always lurking in the dark Caracas nights. A kind soul in sorrow, whose signature move was to lift her dress and show potential clients her vagina. Hers was the first pussy I saw. Years later, I have been dealing with the residues of a toxic relationship and the feelings of loneliness in a country in crisis. With this short film I want to explore how this bizarre first experience influenced my ideas about sex and love,” writes Robinson describing his film.

Robinson’s sketchbooks and the prints that form the animation sequences created during his residency can be viewed. He will also give a short art talk.
