Meat Grinder

Meat Grinder

2025 • 14 min • Russian Federation, Uzbekistan, Bulgaria
“Meat Grinder" is a stop-motion video that explores the tragic fate of a generation taken hostage by a perverse system rife with double standards and manipulative propaganda. In this world of hypocrisy and cruelty of the chosen few, the illusion of stability and security masks the real purpose of individuals: to be cannon fodder, mere resources for the system when the time comes. The project metaphorically portrays how the system conditions its members to live without will or a desire for freedom, transforming them into ruthless dummies. The video reveals that maternal protection is a mere mirage; the real goal is to serve as fuel for the relentless war machine. Like livestock on a farm, the system feeds its inhabitants, preparing them for slaughter, where war grinds everyone without distinction. "Meat Grinder" lays bare the absence of choice and freedom, turning the viewer into a witness of how this bloody, infernal mill continues to spin, enriching those in power. More than 1000 photographs were used in the stop motion. All sets and costumes were hand-made without the use of computer graphics or artificial intelligence.
Shape Games

Shape Games

2024 • 20 min • United States
“A wild, immersive, adventurous, highly physical series of optical illusions. A very Muse creation!” —Lynne Sachs Shape Games is a film about play, abstraction, and enchantment. A series of strange and seemingly pointless activities unfold. Line drawings morph and shuffle; bottles of water are inverted and spilled, small rocks scrape across the ground; larger ones tumble across a rain drenched hill; wires bend; droplets are smeared across walls, paintings, and screens; cameras are chased—to the point of exhaustion. And a woman speaks. She describes strange things, chimeras and hybrids, objects and creatures, buzzing metamorphoses. She’s not talking about things we can see, not exactly, but her descriptions nonetheless hang in air, vivid and alluring. Are we seeing things, things that are there before us? Or are we seeing things, imagined things, hallucinated things, shadows and remainders? Yes and yes. The film asks the viewer to consider the rules that guide and constrain all of these activities, the labor and time it takes to perform them, the utility of this labor and the residues of this time. The world of Shape Games, in the words of the narrator, who is playing a game of her own, offers a bit of safety—certainty, comfort—but is also a trap, an enchanting one.

Together, they embark on a journey of psychological analysis, peering into his shattered psyche to find a path toward healing. Their fragile peace is shattered when news breaks of a serial killer known as 'The Natural' terrorizing the town. Confronting the killer— a figure embodying the cold absurdity of the world, much like the protagonist in Camus’s The Stranger—the young man decides to slay him as a ritual to break free from the shackles of his past. Accepting the world’s inherent absurdity, the boy and girl head toward the endless sea. On the shore, he buries the heart he had hidden for so long in the sand, finally bidding a definitive farewell to his pain. In the fading light, they perform a free, cathartic dance of healing, marking the dawn of a new life.
