"Toying with string" is painting transformed into film. Color, threads, stones, various natural elements give birth to images constantly changing in form. This metamorphosis is made visible – we see one thing arising from another and giving birth to something new. “Toying with string is by two sisters, one is a painter, the other a filmmaker. A new quality develops from the knowledge each one brings. The film is lively and leaves a free and happy feeling”

“Fadenspiele 2“ (Toying with String 2) is an animation made with the painter, my sister, Detel Aurand. We filmed inside the studio and outdoors in the forest and fields. From various elements like paper, wood, plastic and fabric come images that continuously change their form. We see one image evolving out of the other, becoming something new.
