Fotorevolte tells of the moment when the world’s available storage capacity is exhausted. All digitally stored photographs and films come to life. People are displaced from their reality by photos of sights and celebrities, logos and film characters. A bizarre competition unfolds between cleaning up and the manifestation of ever new images, until the boundary between the real and virtual world turns completely blurred. When finally the Internet overflows, the world sinks into a mishmash of pixels.
In Fotorevolte, the question of the influence of always available real and fictional images on the world is turned upside down and taken ad absurdum. The animated film combines around 1000 drawings, photos, graphics and videos, whose different visual languages fight for space, overlap and mix. In line with this approach, music and sounds were created by transforming the film images with a light-sound synthesizer.

Pebbles Underground is focused on showcasing and promoting experimental, avant-garde, underground, and no-to-low budget projects by artist-humans from all over the world. Absurd, uncanny, witty, humorous, slow-video – all are welcomed, and loved.
Pebbles Underground is an independent project not funded by any government or corporation, and we intend to keep it that way. Main source of funding is personal donations from humans organizing the project, who are artists themselves, and the main drive of the project is formed by the energy and involvement of the organizers, and the public.
