Bill Domonkos is a filmmaker, GIF maker and stereoscopist from San Francisco, USA. The artist combines 2D and 3D computer animation, special effects, photography and manipulated archive film footage to create unique moving images, each telling a different, surreal story.

“I experiment by combining, altering, editing and reassembling using digital technology, special effects, and animation to create a new kind of experience. I am interested in the poetics of time and space—to renew and transform materials, experiences, and ideas. The extraordinary thing about cinema is its ability to suggest the ineffable—it is this elusive, dreamlike quality that informs my work.”- Bill Domonkos

Bill Domonkos, Title Unknown, (The Two Sisters)

Working with photographs, film clips, and illustrations lost to time, San Francisco-based filmmaker and stereoscopist Bill Domonkos creates darkly humorous animated GIFs. The resurrected photos merged with modern animation are almost completely nonsensical in subject matter and yet perfect in their execution, the more random the better.
