THE BALLOON THAT CAN FLY, 1min., USA
Directed by Kimisa H.
For her BFA graduate collection, designer Yuki Xu created unique three-dimensional textiles that boldly pushes the envelope of conventional knitwear. To create these knits, Xu combined shiny, recycled plastic fibers and two-plied contrasting Mouliné with Elastomeric yarns; the synthetic fabrics gives nods to the domestic knitting machine’s automated jacquard punch card mechanism, a foremother to early prototypical computing hardware. Collaborating with director Kimisa H. for this short film, Xu orchestrates a series of playful movements: a visual cacophony of bulbous forms and geometric shapes.

As the protagonist becomes more and more addicted to material desires, it begins to become more and more dependent on the comments of others for fulfillment.
