Hattler returns with 1925 aka Hell


Last month we shared Max Hattler’s killer animation loop “1923” aka Heaven and now Hattler is back with his second loop also inspired by the work of French artist Augustin Lesage “1925”aka Hell.

The second loop is frighteningly hypnotic and even at just 1:42 you can feel time wrinkle while the cycle tugs you in. Hattler shares:

I am fairly obsessed with patterns and mirroring myself, and I liked the idea of transposing his vision of the spiritual world into a contemporary moving image context – Updated through the lens of pop-­‐cultural and art-­‐historic references – Using sound, image and movement to try and heighten the sense of the spiritual, while to adhering to his parameters of symmetry. The Idea of a loop made perfect sense both in terms of a ‘moving painting’, as well as an endless cycle – Eternity – Implicit in ‘the spiritual’.
