Origin
Jason A. Harrington, United States, 16mm, 5:00

This beautiful work, shot in 16mm, finds both symmetry and chaos at all scales of life, from the subatomic to the cosmic. Harrington's painterly animations evoke the ongoing cycle from the all-encompassing emptiness of the egg, to the fullness of material life, to dispersion in the infinite.
