I Can Not Think Of A Suitable Word,

to describe this short film,

all images © Markos Kay, mesmerising, different, unusual, all seem somehow inadequate, 

it is a film by London-based CGI artist Markos Kay, 

theory suggesting that the first self-replicating, cell-like objects were composed of a kind of fatty acid that could not dissolve in water, this film “aBiogenesis” tries to recreate that world,

the hypothesis postulates that lipids may have formed into generative bilayers in the oceans, “These bilayers would have acted like tiny bubbles or bags, enclosing and protecting the chemical reactions that would eventually give rise to life,” he says,

“aBiogenesis” focuses a microscopic lens on imagined protocells, vesicles, and primordial foam that twists and oscillates in various forms, the artist has prints available for sale in his shop, and you can find more work on his website and Behance, for the full size video have a look here, what an amazing video.
