A new series of videos from Venezuelan-born, NY-based artist Victor Morales are uncanny, mesmerizing, and morbidly fascinating. They are all mildly disturbing, in a good way.
Here's the incredible FigureFiguring, a dance scene sui generis which degenerates in a plastic-elastic copulation that defies the laws of physics.
Below is Figures and Branches (wait, is that an avatar of Donald Trump?) Why are the characters floating and spinning? Is Figure and Branches a metaphor of a directionless America?
It all started with FigurativeMoves, featuring a melting, shapeshifting Trump (mental note: this reminds me of John Carpenter's The Thing).
Morales' work consists of "an exploration of video game engines as simulation environments, where death and physics are transformed into dramatic and comedic real time performance". Pure brilliance.
