Project Description

Turn off notifications and raise the volume: relax for a few seconds and press the play button to be teleported to Japan in the 19th Century. What you will see are ten ancient Japanese paintings (created between 1786 and 1900, scanned and published by the Library of Congress) that I animated.

Animated and Directed by Pasquale D'Amico
