The hand-drawn, animated short film “weiß” is a brief introspection of identifying the self in relation to their body in a moment where one becomes physically disconnected from their place of being. In this case, there is a loss of the self and an eagerness to reunite with a reformed -yet conflicted- identity discovered within the body; what may be described as an “outer body experience.” The film abruptly cuts just as the two begin to unite and separate as to distinguish themselves from one and the other, leaving the finality of their relationship obscured. “weiß” plays with time, color, and setting between transitions resulting in moments of minimal lines and absence of space to heavily defined detail work and distortion between character and environment as to emphasize the figure’s overall expression.
