Sand animation
Sand animation (also sand-on-glass animation or sand art ) is an art form in which images are created with the help of sand, usually on a glass plate illuminated from below. This happens either as part of a performance in which the audience can directly follow the creation of the images, or as an animation of a series of individual images in a film.
Sand animation as performance art
In a sand performance, the artist draws lines and figures with his fingers on a surface sprinkled with sand or scatters new sand on empty surfaces, so that a series of images is created. A daylight projector is often used as a background, which projects the resulting images onto a wall and thus makes them visible to the audience.
