Ryan Ortgiesen

Windows of Whimsy explores the interplay between reality and imagination by compositing fantastical, animated creatures into live-action footage. Using the buildings structure as an active participant in the narrative, a one eyed snake breaks through the windows initiating a psychedelic journey where we encounter the shape-shifting fish of the fjords, UFO’s, and elves cooling-off on a hot summer day. This piece reminds us that our imagination is the only limit to what’s through the next window.
