Description

Re-Animation 3,4, & 2 are short animations created by looping images of dead insects taken from the artist’s own amateur entomological collections. Each frame of video within a loop is an image of a separate insect in its own distinct contortion. The variety of contortions, coupled with the similarity between insects of the same species, creates the stop motion movement of an individual insect in the final video. Re-Animation 3, 4, & 2 uses this animation process in an attempt to position photographic representation between dualities like life and death, reality and illusion, art and science, etc.
