Artwork In brief
Celebrating a century of Surrealism (1924–2024), the short film ”One Hundred” takes viewers on a surreal and visually haunting journey through a labyrinth of interconnected dreamlike worlds. A hundred years back, forward-thinking poet André Breton wrote the Manifesto of Surrealism (1924), a source of inspiration for one of the most transformative art movements of the 20th century, still shaping art, culture, and design today. In homage, the film presents one hundred surreal paintings from the artwork ”Never Quit Dreaming” (2024), animated and seamlessly stitched together to create hypnotic, visually-driven poetry.
More than an experimental film, the narrative unfolds like a visual poem—an endless stream of associations leading viewers deep into the maze of the human psyche. Weaving through a tapestry of surreal, dreamlike scenes and symbolic landscapes, it offers more riddles than resolutions. Is there truth among the dreams, or is it all illusion? Which reflection is truly mine, and which path am I meant to follow? Will the fragmented pieces of the story ever form a complete picture? One Hundred invites you to step inside and lose yourself in its enigmatic depths.
Orchestra Impossible’s painterly score breathes life into the film, becoming as much a storyteller as the visuals. Rising and falling like waves, it draws the viewer deeper into the film’s pulse.
