Yogin – John Hanrahan


Yogin (2008, 57 MB, 3:15 min.)

“Yogin is a 3 minute short animation I created for my MFA thesis.
I am responsible for everything but the musical score.
It is the story of a brash young yogi challenging an old master to
a yoga battle. The egotistical challenger thinks he has what is
necessary to take on the master however he fails to realize there
is more to yoga then physical postures.”
Wonderfulness from John Hanrahan.

We’re Alan Sondheim fans here at dvblog.
When so much work on the web is banal & lacking in ambition
he is an antidote, a tonic, a reason to hope.
His restless energy & intelligence transmute everything
he engages with into art (remember Picasso & those handlebars?)
Those living in the Santa Monica area might have seen his installation
‘embedded’ (also including work by filmmaker Leslie Thornton)
at the Track 16 gallery in 2006.
