Enter the Dream World of “Play”

Starting with a quote from Friedrich Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra, South Korean motion designers Minhyung Lee and Jeong-a Shin, construct a complex and whimsical CG dream called “Play” set inside the rotating sections of a glass Rubik’s cube.

Minhyung Lee: “This film represents that the perception of this world is relative, then the things we are seeing, hearing, and feeling is changing in infinite variety.

“Rotating stages is inspired by a toy called Rubik’s cube to show fluidity and dynamics of the view of the world. Moreover, we focused on “play”‘s other meaning as theater, so we built a construction with various stages in an unbroken line. And we think all of these elements are “PLAY”, so we just play.”

“Our thinking is really nothing but a very refined interwoven play of seeing, hearing, feeling.”
-Friedrich Nietzsche
