spill

An animated haiku from the Greek poet Giorgos Seferis. Depicts the consequences a single instance, or áκαριαíον has, incorporating texture with subtle typography. The balance of light and dark is explored both in tonality and the provoking electronic track (link).

Στάξε στὴ λίμνη

μόνο μιἀ στάλα κρασί

και σβήνει ο ήλιος

–

spill into the lake

but a drop of wine

and the sun vanishes
