Title: Walk
Format: 4 loop animations in DVD discs
This piece is inspired in the feelings of fear and helplessness we experience when we are in the midst of having a nightmare.
A nightmare often appears endless to the person who is experiencing it and the faceless character in the continual loops of animation represents the irrational matter that constitutes the essence of our fears.
In each panel the fear is explored from a different perspective but looking at it from different angles does not necessarily provide us with a better interpretation of its essential character or purpose and instead, as it often happens in nightmares, any effort to rationalize the situation we find ourselves in can result in a more distorted sense of reality or a newly modified, though not less frightening, sequence of events.
The work includes 4 loop animations in DVD format. The main DVD is to be displayed on a big plasma or LCD and the other three DVDs are to be displayed on three smaller separate plasma or LCD screens.
