Montage of animations
The documentary “Tax Free Tour” gives a powerful insight into the methods used by multinational corporations like Apple, Starbucks and Google to avoid paying billions of dollars in tax.
Motoko created six animations to support TV channel VPRO’s Tegenlicht episode directed by Marije Meerman. The animations visualize the mechanisms and capital flows that govern this financial underworld.
