Creatures of the social city.
I have been looking at the relationship between humans and animals and the idea of reconnecting with nature and evolution. I have been looking at the certain characteristics of animals and how people can sometimes look or even have the 'personality' of a certain animal. Sometimes what people emit is so physical you can see it within them.
In 2009 I collected recycled cardboard boxes from the main city shopping center and painted different characters that i have seen around the city on them. I see the video as giving life to the characters and the boxes come to life after the painting is finished and move across the floor, up the stairs and rearrange them selves next to the cafe in the Roland Lavinsky Building, ready to interact and communicate.
