Pulse
The three characters, Blood, Lava, and Electricity represent the human animal, the natural world, and civilization respectively. Blood grapples with both Lava and Electricity in their rivalry for control. "Pulse" shows humanity not as the strong rational rulers of the earth but instead as a tormented figure that struggles to find security in an uncertain world. Blood is the protagonist caught between the two antagonists, Lava and Electricity. The antagonists are rivals for control over Blood who is simply trying to survive. This is depicted by actors wearing costumes that embody the traits of each of the three characters. All of the sculpture, the costumes and the set, relate to the story's themes in form, texture, and color. These aspects are heightened further by video editing filters that are superimposed over top of the action in post production. There is no dialogue and Blood is completely masked. The narrative relies heavily on the body language of the actors, and the editing of the sequences to relate its story. The sound track enhances the mood with piano and linguistic textures.
