A reclining seat shifts a paper world

The roughly 30-second trailer for Seun Yee’s cut-out animation Boundaries shows how a passenger reclining a bus seat changes the space around him, using flat paper figures inside rooms with real depth.

The thin edges of the paper characters stand against boxlike rooms. Bright clothing and the distance between two facing figures shape the frame.

The Film

The artist’s premise starts with a passenger reclining a bus seat too far. That small intrusion upsets the balance of the space and pushes the story in unexpected directions. Boundaries is an 11-minute cut-out animation made in 2025.
