A meteor shower occurs when Earth collides with particles and small stones from space. The dust grains in the Leonid meteor shower burn up as they enter the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of 250,000 kilometers per hour. This is what we call shooting stars. Every 33 years, there is a chance that a meteor shower will cause at least 1,000 star shots per hour.
American cartoons are the starting point for Martin Arnold's new work. Sequences of short films form the basis of a process of fragmentation, deconstruction, dismantling and repetition. Arnold uses fun, family entertainment to create films with open-ended possibilities for association. His pieces, such as Hydra (2013), Charon (2013), Nix (2013) and Self Control (2011), feature characters whose anatomy is no longer recognizable as such, but rather resemble puppets, remotely controlled from the outside. Trembling hands, dancing tongues, blinking eyes and snoring mouths move like ghosts against an abyss-like deep black background, in which bodily elements constantly disappear, only to reappear once more.
