A VISUAL ECHO OF MUSIC

Dance has always fascinated me. In a way, I’ve always seen it as the visual counterpart of music, a way of translating rhythm, energy and emotion into movement. As someone who spends most of his time putting things into images, I wanted to explore that connection in my own way. Fragments of memories from nights out, stroboscopic lights and bodies caught between beats probably found their way into STROBE too.

BEYOND THE FIGURE

The film started as an exploration of movement stripped back to its most essential form. Rather than showing dance in a conventional way, I wanted the body to become almost unrecognizable, reduced to silhouettes, traces, light and color. Rather than following one fixed dancer, the film constantly shifts from one figure to another. With each movement, the body seems to mutate, as if every flash of light revealed a new presence. What remains is less a stable identity than a succession of fleeting forms, caught between appearance and disappearance.

PAINTING WITH MOVEMENT

The visual language was built around heavily diffused imagery, motion blur, translucent layers and saturated color fields. Different palettes, fragmented poses and soft optical distortions helped push the images away from realism while keeping just enough of the human figure to preserve a sense of grace, tension and movement. The result sits somewhere between dance photography, painting and moving light.

RHYTHM AS CHOREOGRAPHY

Plaid - C.A. became an essential part of the film’s rhythm and structure. Its intricate electronic pulse gave me something to work against rather than simply follow, allowing the movement to shift between fluidity and interruption. Frames are held, repeated, skipped and suddenly released, creating a stroboscopic dialogue between the figures and the track. The music ultimately became another layer of choreography, shaping the pace and tension of the piece.

BREAKING THE FLOW

AI generated imagery and motion were combined with frame based manipulation and compositing in After Effects, deliberately disrupting the smoothness of the original movement. The figures appear, disappear and reform from one frame to the next, constantly shifting identity and presence. Each flash feels like a transformation, with one dancer giving way to another in a continuous chain of mutations. The final piece explores that fragile space between body, rhythm and abstraction, where every image feels on the verge of transforming into something else.
