Review

“Elemental also, but in an utterly different way, is (Invade) by Wong Man Sze. This is hands-on, instinctive animating happening before the eyes. Charcoal on paper is a beautifully ethereal way to create abstract animated imagery. Lines seem to all but draw themselves while more condensed blocks of shading seem to grow and shimmer as if almost alive. Although doing primary service as a music video for the Hong Kong instrumental band ‘More Reverb’, (Invade) is a gently palpable reminder of the raw beauty that can sit in the heart of the simplest, most organic of images.” London International Animation Festival, 2020
