Drux Flux

Animation (Shorts) • 4m 50s

Directed by Theodore Ushev • Animation • 2008 • 5 minutes

Partly figurative, partly abstract, Drux Flux is an animation film of fast-flowing images showing modern people crushed by industry. Inspired by One-Dimensional Man by the philosopher Herbert Marcuse, the filmmaker deconstructs industrial scenes and their terrifying geometry to show the inhumanity of progress. A film without words.
