SELECTED WORK
LAOCOÖN & CO.
3D / COLLAGE
Three animated collages. A Trojan priest and two saints, translated into the language of a screen.
Each figure is known by what wounds them: serpents, eyes, arrows. Here the serpents become Snake, the eyes become googly eyes, and the arrows become cursors.

Eyes
Saint Lucy is painted holding her eyes. In the collage they multiply as googly eyes, scattered across her face, her halo and the hands that offer them.
