Metamorphatropolis. Video, Osuna Gallery, Washington D.C. 2004.
Metamorphatropolis is an experimental, mixed media, animation. It is hand-drawn on a single sheet of Arches 250 gram printing paper. Heavy printing paper was used because every frame is an alteration of the previous frame, in contrast to the traditional animation, which uses a new drawing for every frame. This allows the viewer to see the vestiges of the image that just passed, encouraging the viewer to guess what may happen in the subsequent frames.
