Zoetropolis

Overview

One day, Zoe discovers a zoetrope shaped like a record player in an abandoned cabin - an optical illusion of individual images that, when spun at high speed, create the illusion of seamless motion. Mesmerised by the sight, Zoe sets the device in Motion until she notices that one of the figures breaks free from its position and begins to overtake its predecessor. Triggered by the zoetrope, the impossible begins to spill into Zoe’s reality. As she overtakes her future self, her life begins to spiral out of control, piece by piece.
