Squirming Multi-Colored Bodies Dance Across the Screen in an Unsettling Animation by Mike Pelletier

“Flurry” is a bizarre new animated short by experimental artist Mike Pelletier. The two-minute-long video features no obvious narrative. Rather, the animation is an exploration of movement and volume: an indeterminate number of humanoid figures seem to merge and divide as their flaccid limbs wiggle and squirm.

Pelletier is Canadian and is now based in Amsterdam. In a statement, the artist shares that “his work explores the various ways in which the human body is represented in art and the social milieu”. Watch more of Pelletier’s experiments on Vimeo (especially this deflated fruit animation) on Vimeo. Digital editions of the artist’s work are available in his online store.
