against all odds and gravity
variable video series, 2025

full video, iteration IV

Entangled bodies transformed into churning faces are first animated by motion data captured during a strange pas de deux with a life-size ragdoll, whose movement defies standard and intention. This inconsistent data is translated to animate two faceless digital bodies, while a third digital body inserted into the animation becomes unsure of which motion data it should follow. The resulting figures are both desperate and defiant, hypnotizing and disruptive within a peculiarly tactile space of the screen.

Exhibited at CVPR (curated by Luba Elliott), SCOPE BLN (Berlin), and Resonant Gallery (Grand Rapids).
