Nightwalk portrays a towering, enigmatic “female” figure strutting along a miniature city highway under the cover of night. As she moves through the urban landscape, her face and outfit continuously transform, shifting between various creatures and forms to reflect an evolving sense of personality and identity. The animation is crafted from a collage of computer-generated videos, creating a chaotic yet cohesive visual tapestry that explores the interplay between beauty and the grotesque.
Nightwalk is part of the May 2025 program MO CAP, curated by Geraldine Erman.
