Description:

This nine-minute animated fantasy is set in a post-human world where animals comb through the ruins of human culture in search of the secret of language. Blending computer graphics, illustrated animation, and found footage, the speculative narrative unfolds through a peep-show structure: inside a recovered treasure chest lies a sunken warship, hybrid creatures, and surreal, erotically charged landscapes.

Peep Show features a score composed and performed by Irene Aebi, Al Matheson, John Oswald, Ross Taggart, and Alex Varty. The work was produced and filmed by Kate Craig, with sound by David Kellen and computer graphics by Bob Richardson.

Video documentation is available upon request.
