Animalism: People as Creatures
Lexie Butler Polley
For my final piece ‘Animalism: People as Creatures’ I created a video instillation, consisting of a main video projected onto a fur screen exploring an internal tension between humanity and animality. Using a first person perspective with a warped lens, layered sound, poetry, and animated overlays, I aimed to create a frantic yet trance-like perspective. The piece encourages viewers to confront core instinct, identity, and consider freedom that could come with embracing an animalistic nature.
