Take a Look at This Stop-Motion Film Set in a Somber Dreamlike World
Lauren Tsai's first entry in The Dying World series immerses the viewers in a gothic-style world.
Take a look at this impressive cinematic project – a short film from artist, model, and one-time reality TV star Lauren Tsai.
The short film, titled Forgetting, is the first entry in The Dying World series. The stop-motion cinematic experience immerses the viewers into a somber and intricate world, where the main character, Astrid, explores her fragmented memories and uncovers the unknown sides of her inner world. The film captivates attention with its appealing aesthetic, reminiscent of Tim Burton's gothic style, and with the contrast between the Severance-like sterile world of the character's office and the dreamy, thought-provoking realm of her memories.
