Description:

Lemon Resort is a place where strange things happen. There is no need to justify these actions as everything will eventually become clear. Or not. (Features some incidental female nudity)

Moscow-based Dasha Chukhrova’s interest in animation and illustration grew from watching odd cartoons on Nickelodeon. Since then, she has always been fascinated by “weird and ambiguous stories that have bizarre characters,” she tells It’s Nice That. “I believe all these great animations like, SpongeBob SquarePants, Aaah!!! Real Monsters and Purple and Brown have somehow affected my visual language and approach to storytelling.”

Dasha’s own work combines “moving images and indefinite stories,” such as Lemon Resort, her most recent work and a well deserved Vimeo Staff Pick for its absurdity. “Most of the ideas in Lemon Resort were born in the making process,” she explains. “The only thing that stayed from the beginning was the idea of creating a non-existent environment with strange rooms and habitants.” The final animation sees the animator build a digital resort of variable interiors. “Each room has its unique atmosphere and theme. For example, the “birdy room” has various types of birds in it such as paper, a statue, a portrait and a real one; the main inspiration behind the “unstable room” is a Rube Goldberg machine – a complex construction that is made out of objects/devices in order to create a domino effect.”
