"Pareidolia Body" By Maya Erdelyi

The word "pareidolia" means to make meaning from randomness. “Pareidolia Body" is an abstract narrative exploring the landscape/architecture of the body as a container of memories. Layers of stories, dreams and memory fragments are interconnected like muscle fibers. The film uses bleached and distressed film stock, cut-paper puppets, stop-motion sets, hand-drawn animation, and various hybrid techniques. This is part of a longer animated film called "Pareidolia."
