Hand Crafted Films

Vintage action figures engage in a provocative display, constituting a deliberate artistic endeavor aimed at dismantling the perceived airs within the contemporary art scene. Crafted over the course of a week in the summer of 2012, this six-minute animated amalgamation draws inspiration from a prominent performance artist. It encapsulates signature elements of Evan Mather’s oeuvre, including meticulously constructed cardboard sets, animated cartography, reversed speech, concealed messages, self-referential meta-narratives, and incorporation of Polaroids. The work emerges as a sophisticated manifestation of creative expression originating from a brief but intense period of inspiration.
