Ceci n'est pas une pipe.

What i would like the rooting message to be about, if you can call it that, is that what we see on screen, what we hear from speakers is nothing. Nothing but an interpretation of the brain, a medium that carries human only compatible information. The real question is; how do i convey this on screen? Its like breaking the fourth wall but also being aware that the wall itself wasn't ever there.

The Rene Magritte Painting Ceci n'est pas une pipe captured this perfectly. How can i convey a simalar message using an animated medium. Maybe by using animated clique and braking it apart? Introducing the viewer to a world that feels plausible on screen then becoming questionable by abstracting? Becoming aware that it is an animated short is usually something that is avoided or embraced as a medium of representation. How would i go about changing an audiences view about what is on screen without spelling it out to them by literally writing Ceci n'est pas une pipe.
