Concept
This award-winning video is a dadaist ratatouille of images in which food becomes a dream - or better, nightmare - and the reflection of schizophrenic diets in the claustrophobic frame of a self-portrait.
The film stages a series of surreal trompe l'oeil inside an artificial 3D landscape in which a hybridized language brings together original video clips - where I bring to life my own digital Avatar - and animations made with a collage of cut-out images.
These images are produced assembling pieces of famous works of art related to the theme of food.
Watch it with vintage anaglyph glasses!
