Modern Living / Neurotica

Thank goodness for Mr. Hoogerbrugge, who takes the sour side of living seriously! Do you believe that it's possible to hear music through the mutilation of your face? In anima 97 "Rash" he would have us try out what it may be like. Using his own likeness. If he were not so ready to deface (or is that efface?) himself, I would say he has a case of Narcissis Musicis.

Or one of my favourites 98 "Prelude", where Mr Hoogerbrugge's face is masked to sinister effect, his mouth covered while it sings a wordless song.

The fact that these animations were created between 1999 and 2001 is testament to some creativity ahead of its time. I am also reminded quite a bit of Red Meat.

Other snippets to check out are (by number only): 15, 26, 32, 35, 40, 57, 73.
