Crossword

“Crossword” is a cinematic visualization of Alzheimer’s disease achieved by exploring various digital and analog manipulations of printed typography. Using a stop-motion technique, I sequenced more than 2,000 still images to create a flowing cinematic experience.

The conceptual elements of confusion associated with this disease are accentuated by the soundtrack, which plays in reverse during the ‘dream’ sequence and seamlessly switches to forward play during the ‘reality’ section of the film.
