"Marionettes" is a 24 minutes long computer animation about collapse. Marionettes are controlled by strings. If there is no string, they collapse. Nobody animates the body. If nobody animates the body, it will be animated by natural forces. Mass. Gravity. Collision. Randomization. In this animation the animator does not animate in the traditional term. Therefore we can say it is an anti-animation.
The forces which control the movements of the marionettes calculated by physical simulation algorithms. Therefore these movements are strictly mathematical ones. They are dramatic, too. They visualize collapse in physical and - amazingly enough from puppets animated by machines - psychological meaning.
