Galen Pehrson (Born Dec 28, 1979) is a film, commercial, and music video director noted for his inventive visual style and manipulation of hallucinatory Illusions.
Galen Pehrson belongs to a global movement in animation that reigned during the '60s and '70s and including Yuri Norstein, Andrei Khrzhanovsky and the Polish-French Walerian Borowczyk. The essence of their work is a teasing game, with the illusionism common to most animated work. Pehrson's Work conjures rich illusions of imaginary worlds, but they also keep bringing us back to the fact that everything we see is purely a constructed, collage-like image. Paradoxically, this increases the hallucinatory and surreal effects of the finely detailed work. See videos and work directed by Galen Pehrson for Vetiver, Adam Green, Turner Cody, [Hella] and Devendra Banhart.
