Michael Pedersen

One of the most controversial writers of our times, join Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh as he undergoes a remarkable trip to find new meaning in his work, life and legacy.

A hand-drawn animation odyssey through Michael Pederson’s poem The Secret Life of Balconies, where the everyday transforms into the extraordinary. A restricted primary color palette heightens the poem’s sense of wonder, guiding viewers through a circular journey—plummeting from the cosmos to Earth, diving into the smallest details of life, before rocketing back into the stars. A celebration of nature, human connection, and the magic hidden in the mundane.
