The Price of Oil (2019)

This 20-min experimental animation video was produced for a music piece performed by contemporary music ensemble Wooden Cities, titled The Price of Oil. The Price of Oil was originally written by the American composer Frederic Rzewski in 1980 and was inspired by a contemporary disaster in which the "Alexander Kielland," a floating platform used to house oil-drilling workers in the North Sea, capsized, killing 139 people. The Price of Oil consists of an interplay between two characters, an oil dealer in the Rotterdam spot market and a worker/survivor of the disaster.
