Epitaph

• Animation
• 1963

Meticulously crafted, paper cut-outs of coffins, headstones, eyes, candles, crosses, and psychedelic backgrounds dance across the screen. Sensory functions are gradually removed – an ear is broken by a hammer, a mouth is locked in a cage, a nose is put in a coffin, hands are pricked by a thorn, a heart is trapped inside a coffin – in an exploration of afterlife.

Epitaph is a movie first shown in 1963. Runtime is 5 minutes. Status: Released. Genres: Animation.
