Animation can visually represent endless possible worlds, each of them often unique and often with little or no relation to the phenomenal world that surrounds us. I found a way to understand these worlds, and a method to describe them, through Deleuze: “A work of art always entails the creation of new spaces and times (it’s not a question of recounting a story in a well-determined space and time; rather, it is the rhythms, the lighting, and the space-times themselves that must become the true characters). . . . A work of art is a new syntax, one that is much more important than vocabulary and that excavates a foreign language in language.
