It expands the concept first explored in his earlier work GHOST, where he stripped only the surface layers from everyday objects, let those skins hover in mid‑air, and then adhered them to other items. The film was shot entirely frame‑by‑frame using long‑exposure photography, and the title GRIM suggests a notion of “as if to do forever.”
