Bipolar Tension is a short video exploring the creation of aesthetic tension through textures, contrast, and reactivity to audio. The first half of the video focuses on fluid transitions and in a very polar fashion, the second half abandons that abruptly in favour of fast cuts and high pace.

With thanks to Gianni Jorissen, for letting us shoot lasers through his magnificent Koelhuis.
