Still Life, Foods Deflate and Re-Inflate In a Brilliantly Odd Animated Dance of Corporeal Remains

In the beautifully animated “Still Life” by the very talented artist Mike Pelletier, various fruits, vegetables and breads amazingly deflate, leaving the skin in a droopy pile on the ground, while others temporarily re-inflate at various intervals in an odd dance of corporeal remains. Pelletier refers to this process as “Nature Morte” and used a soundtrack by Dylan Galletly to further express the theme.
