A special technical solution prompted the idea to make a film out of Franz Kafka’s short story Metamorphosis. This device consists of a camera comprised of 6 objectives with CCD chips arranged behind them which map the space in 360 degrees; the 6 separate images are then formed into a cohesive sphere with the help of a computer program.
Taking into account the fact that the workings of this device resemble the eyes of an insect in many ways, the authors attempted to adapt Kafka’s story from an insect’s – Gregor’s – subjective point of view from beginning to end.

Sparkle
The latest artistic experiment of Benedek Fliegauf in which he follows three people talking about death, rebirth and enlightenment. Fascinating.
