Simple basic forms are the origin of any creation. In a perfect symbiosis Yonder forges out of pictures and sounds a world whose organic forms bubble, hiss, glow, grow, transform with one another, eat and are being eaten like in a dance. Nothing stands still, everything breathes and pulsates, shines and enchants with its simple complexity.

Against the background of crashing, infernal soundtrack so-called dovestoppers move through the country and leave glaring signs of the destruction of the consumer society.

NL 2008, 9 min, 35 mm, colour, without dialogue
A mother brings the four-year-old Jonas to his first swimming class and then forgets about him. A Tour de Force begins for the boy: grannys with bathing caps and vain self-promoters. The audio-track trapps congenially the atmosphere of the first swimming classes we all had...

A pale redhead beauty is in the forest doing a chain-play and experiences unimagined desire...
New York’s vanguard hepcat John Zorn wrote a relaxed and lyrical score for the new film of the fetish artist Maria Beatty. The score expresses ironically the noises of the forest and the direct erotic.

USA 2009, 9:30 min, 35 mm, colour, without dialogue
Visualily stunning and very narrative. The clash of two worlds: a dreaming little girl vs. The egoistic adults, that were once children children, too.
