SEGMENT FROM LOOKING FOR LUCRETIA. FULL RUNNING TIME 8MIN 40SEC.
LOOKING FOR LUCRETIA IS AN EXPERIMENTAL ANIMATION THAT ENGAGES ISSUES IN TECHNOLOGY, GENDER, AND STORYTELLING IN CONTEMPORARY CULTURE. IT BRINGS THE SUBJECT OF A PAINTING TO LIFE AND REVERSES THE ROLES OF ART OBJECT AND OBSERVER. THE SUBJECT IS LUCRETIA AS PORTRAYED BY LUCAS CRANACH THE ELDER IN 1532. IN RESPONSE TO CRANACH’S PAINTING, I CREATED A NEW MODEL, ENVIRONMENT, AND IDENTITY USING A COMBINATION OF SOUND, VIDEO, 3D MODELING, AND ANIMATION. IN THIS NEW SCENARIO, WE ARE IMMERSED IN THE ESTRANGED REALITY OF THE PAINTING.
