Zurich animator/designer/illustrator Frederic Siegel draws on his own obsessive-compulsive habits to create Ruben Leaves, a five-minute study of modern neuroses full of dark humor and spectacular visuals wrought in a stripped-down palette.

A phenomenal success on the international festival circuit, Ruben Leaves was created during Siegel’s tenure at the Lucerne School of Art & Design while studying for his Bachelor of Arts in Film with specialization in 2D Animation. He graduated in 2015.
