Federico Solmi "From Uterus to Grave with no Happy Ending"
LMAKgallery
This event has ended.
In the past four years, Federico Solmi has been entirely focused on developing hand-drawn animated videos. He immediately felt very comfortable with the medium, and began to construct very ambitious projects, resulting in 4 animated films within the past 3 years. The method Solmi uses is traditional, but the combination of 3-D animation, hand drawn imagery and an online collaboration with Russell Lowe, a New Zealand-based artist and professor of Digital Design at Wellington University, is what makes this work unique and revolutionary. Lowe is in charge of transforming the hand drawn storyboard by Solmi into 3D footage. Douche Bag City is a video installation of 9 single channel hand drawn animated films and in an edition of 8. The film is meant to be a satire about the current world economic crisis.
