OCTOPOLIS
An experimental animation piece that reimagines existence through the lens of donut-obsessed octopuses. The absurdity is entirely the point, operating on its own peculiar logic that blurs the mundane with the genuinely uncanny.
Ideal if you're looking for diving into delightfully bizarre visual worlds that embrace the wonderfully strange.
OCTOPOLIS is a civilization created by octopuses. The inhabitants live on donuts and sleep inside chikuwas (fishcake tubes). They perceive themselves as donut holes and feel a deep urge to fill that void and become suckers, the embodiment of wholeness.
