1000 Kings
In a society of abstract figures, 1000 people live imprisoned in an immense space, distinguished by their social class, like a hive of bees. Their ultimate goal is to produce light, but only one will be able to! 1000 Kings is a conceptual and innovative animation, a poetic meditation on the origins of the universe with a geometric approach and psychedelic colors, inspired by both Western and Eastern mythologies.
