Synopsis
Abstract ink drawings seem to come out of nowhere. Following a secret choreography, they take on characteristics and moods of the music and narrate a story that appears to be laid out in the music. The interplay of timid encounters and dynamic pursuits, the agile lightness and confrontation, awakens a multitude of associations e.g. of birds, plants or the under-water world, which in turn stimulates many different emotional impressions.
Maja Oschmann (1975, Kassel) is an artist and drawer. She has focused her analysis on the relationship between drawing and music, founded a private school of drawing and gives lessons at the Academy. Virtuos Virtuell is her first film.
Thomas Stellmach (1965, Straubing, Germany) is animation director, producer, author and animator. Amongst many international awards for his independent productions, in 1997 he received the Academy Award (Oscar®) for the stop-motion film Quest. He studied animation at the Kassel Academy of Arts.
