Haiku: A Visualisation

Haiku: A Visualisation aims to utilise the visual potential present within haiku poetry to translate three selected haiku poems into tranquil, yet visually engaging stop-motion animation videos. These hopefully offer the viewer a brief antidote to the rushed nature of the modern world, as well as bringing the serene and modest joy of haiku poetry to a perhaps unaware audience. As each of the selected haiku poems were written by different poets and possess different qualities, the animations were created in three distinct styles, using a range of different materials, and were finally displayed in three unique public spaces, as a means to reference the three line format present within haiku poetry. At the end of each of the animations, a period where the sound continues passed the point of the visuals ending is included, in order to allow time for reflection.
