‘elements’ is an experimental art film by visual artist and motion designer maxim zhestkov about nature, physics, art and love. more than 2 billion elements / particles governed by tensions and forces of nature were used to tell stories and show emotions through the dynamics of collective behavior.
as maxim zhestkov explains it, ‘the film is a trial to explore the idea that everything around us and inside us is made from simple elements / blocks which can be arranged into complex relationships and become compound structures. we could project this idea into emotions, behaviors, thought processes, relationships, life, planets and the universe’.
