‘Elements’ by Maxim Zhestkov

“An experimental art film nature, physics, art, and love. More than 2 billion elements/particles governed by tensions and forces of nature were used to tell stories and show emotions through the motion of collective behavior. The film is a trial to explore the idea that everything around us and inside us is made from simple elements/blocks which can be arranged in complex relationships and become compound structures. We could project this idea into emotions, behaviors, thought processes, relationships, life, planets, and the universe.”

Direction, design, animation, and sound by Maxim Zhestkov.
