Piu-Piu
Frederic’s work values the movement between the moving tram and physicality of birds. As in many of his works that involve the idea of “movement”, he would like to recreate a fading experience.
Due to government regulations and public hygienic reason, the hobby of songbirds owning has been discouraged. With ‘Piu-Piu’, Frederic would like the viewers to re-experience the idea of having a songbird as their travel companions.
Frederic sees the world as “a perpetual morphing entity”. He implies this ideology in the movement of the birds in ‘Piu-Piu’. During his research on these two birds, he is fascinated by their poses where they are either facing the left or right direction. In his expertise in animation-making, this is a technique called “no in-between”, and he has achieved this effect on a living piece with the use of lenticular print.
