History

The adventures of Carbonman / DV, approx. 15 min. The carbon researcher Dr Carbonare creates “Carbonman” and reveals to him the world of Carbon, with its modifications and usage. Carbonman uses this knowledge to create a Carbonwoman. The result is the Carbon family. Technological achievements, civilization and culture intertwine through pseudo-science, performances and gags to create a witty yet profound futuristic thriller.

Sweetie, Installation

There was a piggy once upon a time;
It was filthy, loud and in its prime.
But then the pig fell ill, with pain and suffering great;
As fate would have it, death came knocking at its gate.
After passing, the piggy was cremated – it happened in a flash;
All that remained was a handful of ash.
But then in secret labour, in a remote backyard,
The ashes were turned to ‘good’ carbon – it wasn’t even hard.
Now pressure and centrifuge while the furnace hotly burned;
In one fell swoop to diamond the pig was turned.
