Brothers Quay are two of the most original ultra surrealist filmmakers of the last decade. They are identical twins born in Pennsylvania and living in London in a low-profile way. They did their unique and innovative animated films in Koninck studios.
The quays are characterized by love for the detail.The imaginary, the mystical and the fairy tale, all have a haunting relationship with color and texture with their special use motion focus in their films and the caméra.Ils are masters of miniaturization and on their tiny games, they have created a world unforgettable, evocative of a landscape of long-repressed, nostalgic childhood dreams.
With the Institute Benjamenta they made their first movement towards a live-action film feature film.Interests of wharves in esoteric illusions finds its achieving perfect in this fascinating animated Conference on the art of the anamorphosis.(Artificialia Perspectiva or anamorphosis, 1991, 15 min, color, 35 mm and 16 mm)This artistic technique, often located in a 16th and 17th century paintings, uses a method of visual distortion slyly played with the relationship between the eye and what he sees.
Platforms also have pop promotions directed by his name is alive, Michael Penn, Sparklehorse, power 16 and Peter Gabriel (contributing to his video "Sledgehammer").
