Feng Huang is the second part of Robert Darroll's Korean Trilogy. Created on 16mm film using hand-drawn cel animation, it took more than two years to complete. In the film, geometric shapes fill the screen, collapse, and re-form in repeating cycles that transition to new scenes with glorious mutations. The shapes have a feeling of referential significance but remain just outside familiarity, which keeps the images on the edge of visual recognition.
