Ties Poeth was born in 1957 and has an aversion to stereotypes, clichés and trends. One of the netherlands most versatile animators, Poeth is constantly looking for new paths, his widely recognised animated short films are a stream of visual associations and true to the tradition of Oskar Fischinger, Len Lye and Norman McLaren. The ‘story’, insofar as present, always plays a subordinate part to the dynamics of the images.
