Kassiewijle

Why would someone constantly surround themselves with the concept of death and decay?

We created the trailer for the podcast "Kassiewijle," a collaboration between artist and funerary specialist Babs Bakels and radio producer Laura Stek. The podcast explores mortality, transience, and the beauty of letting go, and we aimed to craft a visual language that reflects these themes.

Inspired by the avant-garde aesthetic of Dadaist filmmaker Hans Richter, we took cues from the subtle podcast tile design by Onno Blase to build a stark visual narrative. High contrast and shadow play, reminiscent of Max Richter's haunting soundscapes and Paul Bellaart's photography, guided our composition choices.

To capture an analog, timeless vibe, we filmed shadow shapes on the wall, creating organic, shifting forms that evoke mystery and impermanence. This footage was assembled into a stop motion-esque collage, layering fragments of imagery and movement to reflect the fatalistic mood of the COVID-19 era.

The final trailer is more than a promo; it’s a visual meditation on life and death, inviting viewers to confront mortality with curiosity and grace.
