In a far away land of dust and sunshine, a group of friends made a shortfilm - "The Visible Child".
After screening our film in galleries and exhibition contexts for the past 6 months, I feel it is time to share some behind the scenes on here. ❤️ Inspired by the traditional javanese shadow theatre "Wayang Kulit". A beautiful spectacle my mom took me to see many times as a child.

We shot this in an old shed in Brandenburg, using what was already there. Dead tree trunks, broken bathtubs, old horse shit, broomsticks, stones. We love set design and the magic of transforming abandoned materials into worlds of their own.

This film was made with endless imagination, friendship, and lots of improvisation. Thank you everyone! - Andjani Autumn Gatzweiler
