New year, new Appetite! We haven’t posted the entire 2018 but that’s not because we were sleeping. On the contrary – we’ve been busy making the storyboard, beautifully drawn by renowned animator Velislava Gospodinova . We’re looking forward to sharing some of the drawings with you once the process is complete!
The exhibition closed on 28.09.2017 with a bang and a trippy concert by our teaser background animator Michael Schmacke’s band The Fake Masters. Thanks to everyone who supported us and ZeitZone Gallery!
Wow, this was really a great opening! We were blessed with a wonderful audience and all performances were very inspired! Thanks to everyone who came! More photos coming up…If you want to visit the exhibition, it’s open until September 28th. Contact us via our FB page to arrange a private viewing at the Zeitzone Gallery.

We just shot the live action part of our teaser in a friendly studio in Kreuzberg, Berlin.
On the photo below -the wonderful Appetite CAST and CREW after our teaser shoot this Sunday, November 3rd! ♥
It was a special day – new moon, solar eclipse, Diwali – the Festival of Light in India, retrograde Mercury – time to finish what you started. We sure head a lot of fun during that 12 hour + shooting. Now it’s time to start on the teaser animation and post production… still a long way but we made a big step in the right direction!

Preparations for the Appetite exhibitions went on for some time, it was a huge endeavor and we are very happy with the results. For weeks Yagama, Eva Gardner, and Michi Ukawa were working on the intestines for the rabbit’s stomach and the props for the dinner table, and Odile Hautemule was preparing the costumes, while our DoP Dian Zagorchinov was helping with driving us all around. We started moving into the exhibition space on Monday and we finished on Friday, a few hours before the exhibition. We also have say thanks to Peter Gund for the table ;). Here are some photos from the making of the exhibition. The opening night photos from the performances are coming soon, stay tuned…

The APPETITE project consists of more than a film – it is a world created by means of painting, animation, performance, and music, to name just a few. We are currently preparing the first APPETITE EXHIBITION, featuring work by the Appetite crew’s artists and musicians, and conceptualized by Yagama. We have been graciously invited to present our show at the Porcelaingres showroom , a beautiful exhibition space in the heart of Berlin’s Kreuzberg. The opening is on May 3rd 2013 and will feature performances and surprises by the Appetite project’s artists.
The “Appetite” project was recently selected as one of the 15 top project pitch pages in the Dazoo World of Shorts magazine competition. The idea was to create a pitching page for your project. The gallery of the top 15 project pitch pages, featuring our “Appetite,” can be found below 🙂
