Heart


A lot of people have been waiting a long time for Heart to come online and after its round of festival appearances Erick Oh’s latest animation is finally here. The eponymous organ is at the center of the action: discovered discarded but coveted by all who see it.

You can see this animated short as an extended visual metaphor if you will and it allows us to make of it what we want. 

It’s a confident, enigmatic and ferocious piece of animation which was produced at the UCLA Animation Workshop and was made possible in part 'by the generous support of Matt Groening'.
