Street-Comic is an urban art project by Gunther Schumann.

Street-Comic Brasil

What happens when you combine comics and street art in a playful way? Then, strange creatures like hallucinating monkeys and talking concrete pillars suddenly appear in the tropical city of Salvador de Bahia. The result of the project is a sequential video that resembles a stop motion film.

Experimental Animation

The individual sequences are illustrated with a mixture of paste-up (street art), puppet animation and stop trick animation. The aesthetics are reminiscent of an animated slide show. In the future, more Street-Comic episodes will be realized.

Funding

This project was created as part of a two-month work grant from the Saxony-Anhalt Art Foundation and the Goethe-Institut Brazil in Salvador de Bahia
