Zombie Portraits
series of lenticular animation photographs - edition of 3 • 2007
In "Zombie Portraits" various individuals are transformed from normal to zombie before the viewers's eyes! This work takes cues from the rising cult of zombies in popular culture, where zombie gatherings and zombie lore flourish. It exposes the artifice of the horror genre, at once softening the frightening effect and eliciting humor. The images are lenticular, meaning that ribbed surface lenses reflect the images beneath them so that as the viewer's point of view changes, the viewed image changes - creating the illusion of movement. In effect these are interactive animations.
