It's one part morbid poetry, one part hyper-surreal animation, and all parts unforgettable nightmare fuel in French 3D artist Louis Crevier's atmospheric short, Menetys. While Finnish actress Anna Korolainen reads what—so far as we can tell—is a first-person account of decay, from the point of view of a corpse, horrifying-yet-mesmerizing vignettes of grotesque figurines reenact Crevier's interpretation of the text.

"My aim is to offer more of a feel than a simple technique," Crevier writes in his artist bio. His work is recognizable for his otherworldly settings and inhuman subjects, like the Sisyphean relationship between a slide and a trampoline in The Big Exit, and the Art Deco-esque machinery in AUTUMN (N D T R M N C). The style fits Menetys, which was published four days ago, like a tattered glove, as the poem's title is Finnish for "loss."
