‘the more you know’ is an experimental short film installation that explores
the metamorphic journey of a being through different stages of open mindedness. 
The viewer is invited to delve into each stage, portrayed through a blend of diverse styles and narratives.

This graduation work was part of the AKI Finals 2024, ArtEZ University of the Arts in Enschede, Netherlands.
(This version aims to simulate the live situation of the physical installation
that was built up in the AKI.)
