WE ARE DESCENDED FROM THE SAME EUKARYOTE

WIR STAMMEN VOM SELBEN EUKARYOTEN AB (WE ARE DESCENDED FROM THE SAME EUKARYOTE) is a poetry film combining 3D modeling, digital animation, and virtual/phygital performance: The artist scanned herself to let her avatar perform in her stead. The poem is an ironic love letter, since most life on earth is descended from the same eukaryote.

The 3D models are studies of organic shapes, while the textures are taken from ornamentally collaged videos of flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables. The background is composed of astro images by Benedict Dresel, adding a hunch of mysticism.
