ReBodying (2021)

Video, 2:35.

“A performance by fleshy latex puppets on a solid, black backdrop, as if they were onstage acting out a live self-portrait. ”

A stop motion animation about the messy nuances of identity, the main goal was to create a space where identity is free to mutate and evolve. I wanted to transport my puppets to a realm where they are free to change and are not tied to the pressures of a static, and rigid sense of self. Inspired by Haraway, Deleuze, and Guttari, I wanted to expand on the idea of ‘self’ and what it means to find your identity when you live in a changing body.
