U.F.A.
Unidentified Flying Art
U.F.A. is a short film exploring how illusion and natural beauty shape human perception, imagining art as something generated by principles of nature itself—through the transformation of matter across scales, from molecular structures to galaxies. The film follows a surreal premise: an impersonal creative force emerging from a new form of intelligent matter capable of producing extraordinary, artificial-natural phenomena across the world.
The project originated from two unrealised proposals* and became a creative response to the growing shift of experience from physical space to social media—where reality and fiction increasingly merge into a continuous visual stream.
In U.F.A., nature-inspired designs are released from the constraints of scale and physical possibility. Reimagined as autonomous creative entities, these forms appear across landscapes and cities, interacting with people and everyday activities like mysterious artistic presences.
Both share a central intuition: the universe repeats the same choreography across its scales—from atoms to stars. Their forms are shaped by natural forces, while light gives them presence, expression, and the ability to communicate emotion—the essential language of what we call art.
The film
The film draws from two earlier concepts: Molecular Splash, a proposal selected for the Amsterdam Light Festival, and Liquid Cloud, an immersive pavilion exploring the idea of daydreaming.
