Paradise Found

In my animation “Paradise found” I have mainly worked on the disintegration and reconstruction of the self, the identity, the body and the digital self. 

Highlighting the way we represent ourselves in the digital realm and how it might impact our behaviour and the shaping of our persona.

Using a virtual surrogate to portray a life mediated by technology and playing on this blurred line between virtuality and reality, I have created an idealized version of myself composed of many parts of other bodies, the obtainable unobtainable; potentially this future and single online identity.

My interests were mostly focused on the idea of enhancement, the notion of perfection and the quick shift beauty and technology have been through.

Pursuing my inquiry into notions of identity and considering the virtual body versus the physical, in the animation as in the piece “Vestige” representing a flattened body discarded from the real persona and the physicality of the body, becoming reduced of functionless.
