On Monday we visited the Jan Svankmajer exhibition in Brighton. Svankmajer's work is very of a certain style and much of the exhibition consisted of the models that he and his wife had created for his short animations. I enjoyed watching his short animations on the various screens around the exhibition; and I was intrigued by how such a random set of real life clips and animation worked so well together. This is what I shall try to achieve in my work this week.

As well as the short films the exhibition also displayed a large collection of the models that he used in his films. They are all made very carefully so that you can barely see the joints between two pieces.
