What do you associate autumn with? Birds flying south, mist, cooler evenings that arrive all too quickly, or perhaps Władysław Podkowiński’s painting ‘Frenzy of Exultations’? In the latest edition of his poetic series, Wojciech Sobczyk reimagines our ideas and fantasies about this season to create a captivating, sensual, and at times unsettling audiovisual poem. From images of the changing autumn landscape, the animator extracts a universal tale of human nature and man’s place and role in the world.
