Two Minutes Out of Time

Storyline

Part of the No Ghost Just a Shell series, this short video introduces the virtual character Annlee as a suspended presence, caught between animation and conceptual narrative. In just under five minutes, Huyghe explores themes of agency, temporality, and identity: Annlee exists simultaneously as a digital “shell” and a vessel for projected emotions, highlighting the tension between a created character and the interpretations imposed by viewers and collaborators. Minimalist visuals and silent animation emphasize her ambiguous, haunting presence.
