Jan works in a variety of mediums but is known mostly for his stop frame animations. He was born in Prague and studied at the College of Applied Arts. Jan began making puppet theatres but gradually moved up to stop frame animations. His ideas mostly originate his past and reflects the violence and aggression that he saw in his childhood. His trademark techniques include unusually fast walking, inanimate objects come to life and sometimes included live action. The animations we watched were The Garden and Dimensions of Dialogue.
The Garden
This was a live action video which portrayed a powerful message as the people that made the human fence were there voluntarily and reflected nations joins in unity.
The other animation we watched was called Dimensions of Dialogue.
I found this animation to be very disturbing and unsettling to watch. It contained people made out of different materials working together at first but then going out of sync and fighting. I found it disturbing because the faces were quite realistic but did not look natural.
