Tyger by Guilherme Marcondes

This is a timeless mix media work by an amazing Brazilian filmmaker featuring the Japanese art of Bunraku puppetry blended with photographic images, CGI, and 2D flat art; it is his interpretation of William Blake’s poem “The Tiger”.

We are delusional in believing in our superiority in this plane. Stripped down to our primal selves, we are just another serving in the vast food chain of existence.

In portraying the ultimate power of this film “the Tiger” as another course to this universal meal, manipulated and controlled by something greater, feels hauntingly beautiful.

It humbles me to know I am part of something greater. Whether your outlook on this is religious, scientific, or whatever, we can’t deny that in the big picture we are significantly, insignificant.

So to those egocentric, self-indulgent, vain-wastes-of-oxygen out there, all I have to say is:

You’ve been served.
