Junsui this time in motion by Lukas Birk

Junsui this time in motion, is a continuation of Lukas's show Junsui, previously shown in China, Japan and the UK. Junsui explores Lukas’s deep fascination for the pureness he sees in black. His visual language speaks with poetry about an abstract world somewhere deep in the ocean of mystery.

The film, shown for the first time at Anni Art, is an animation made of more then 6000 photographs. The subtle movement of abstract creatures and mysterious waters brings us in a space far away from the surface of this world.
