Can architecture be trippy? Charles Moore would say yes, as would Archigram. Both made psychedelic architecture, albeit in different ways. But neither would have predicted that remote Slovakian villages would specifically yield mind-boggling images. Thats where Russian DIY motion graphics artist, Taras Gesh, comes in. Gesh has created Gánovce, a hallucinogenic, kaleidoscopic video, in which a small, picturesque village is swirled into a distorted, spinning pinwheel of houses and greenery. The result is a short clip of a longer video, but even one minute of the footage shows how motion graphics have altered this town into something otherworldly. Ganovce / motion collage fragments from Taras Gesh on Vimeo. The idea is to condense everything the artist loves about the village into a single shot. “I had the idea to make one large composition, which could accommodate all its attractions,” he told The Creators Project. “Lately I have been studying the possibility of using classical painting techniques within video. The result is not a sequence of frames, but canvas for moving composition that turns into a picture. ift.tt/1jiZ2GB
