DADALOOP
Animation Art
2015
This award-winning video is a Dadaist ratatouille of images in which food becomes dream, excess, and nightmare, reflecting the schizophrenic logic of desire, consumption, and control within the claustrophobic frame of a self-portrait.
The film unfolds through a series of surreal trompe-l’œil within an artificial 3D landscape, where a hybrid visual language brings together original video footage, in which I animate my own digital avatar, and collage-based animations built from cut-out images.
These composite images are created by assembling fragments of famous artworks connected to the theme of food, transforming art history into a hallucinatory visual feast suspended between irony, obsession, and unease.
Watch it with vintage anaglyph glasses.
