LARNACA BIENNALE 2025 (4th Edition)

 Editing, Motion Graphics and Animation

An experimental promotional video created by one and a half animation studio in Cyprus introduces the fourth edition of Larnaca Biennale, one of the largest international contemporary art events in the region.

Developed for web and television broadcast, the promo combines experimental video editing, layered imagery and motion graphics to communicate the conceptual framework of the Biennale. The film translates the curatorial theme Lines and Traces into a visually structured sequence that reflects the atmosphere and intellectual direction of the exhibition programme.

VISUAL COMMUNICATION FOR A CONTEMPORARY ART EVENT

Larnaca Biennale brings together artists, curators and audiences through a programme of exhibitions, performances, lectures, concerts and workshops held across the city. The 2025 edition, curated by Sana López Abellán, explores the theme Lines and Traces, examining how movements, connections and physical marks shape our understanding of history, identity and cultural memory.

The promotional film was developed primarily using video and photographic material provided by the Biennale team, alongside additional visual elements created during editing. Through experimental montage and restrained motion graphics, fragments of imagery are layered and rhythmically assembled to evoke the conceptual nature of the event rather than simply describe it. The edit was synchronised to a section of the musical composition Goals by EMBEDOKLES, allowing the structure of the soundtrack to guide the pacing and transitions of the visual sequence.

Produced as part of the Biennale’s international communication campaign, the film was designed to introduce the event across broadcast and digital platforms while maintaining the reflective and exploratory tone of the exhibition programme.

COLLABORATION AND CREATIVE ALIGNMENT

Projects of this nature rely on close collaboration and clear communication between creative teams and commissioning organisations. Throughout development, the editorial direction remained closely aligned with the Biennale’s curatorial vision and thematic framework. Experimental work often requires a degree of trust in the creative process, particularly when visual ideas evolve through testing and iteration. When that trust is present, it allows the work to reach its full potential, balancing conceptual clarity with emotional resonance while remaining faithful to the intentions of the project.

This project forms part of the studio’s broader body of work in documentary, cultural and public communication contexts. Explore more projects on our Work page.
