The Chimera of M. is a beautiful, stereoscopic 3D animation. Buerkner uses the computer to create abstract interiors, stylised forms and fluid coloured planes in many layers. The voice-over guides us through an ambivalent universe: a web of spatial deception, snatches of dialogue and moral quandaries. Portrayals of couples’ misunderstandings, contained arguments, desires, intimacy and lust. A confusing delight for eye, ear and mind.
