Orientation

This animated work by Ac-Bu, based on group_inou’s music video "Orientation," presents a fragmented narrative exploring themes of identity and belonging within a densely populated, urban landscape. The visuals weave together live-action and animation, creating a disorienting yet compelling atmosphere. The story follows a collection of individuals navigating anonymous interactions and fleeting connections in a world saturated with information and sensory overload. Character development is subtle, focusing on emotional resonance rather than traditional plot progression. The experience evokes a sense of alienation and the search for meaning amidst the noise of modern life, inviting contemplation on the nature of self in an increasingly interconnected yet isolating society. The animation style emphasizes texture and unsettling juxtapositions, contributing to a uniquely atmospheric viewing experience.
