Trap (2022) (04:10) // Loop

 

Exhibited as a three-channel digital simulation consisting of photogrammetric processes, animation and audio.

 

The work explores ideas around equality and mortality as well decisions that are made daily by people and those who influence them. Insects and flies are simulated along different paths while the weather experiences rapid changes throughout the piece, ultimately heading towards one outcome.

 

Slight changes to the climate throughout the piece, dictate and manipulate the direction the flies go in. The simulation underlines the freedom some of these insects have, with some lucky enough avoiding death, while others whether attracted by the flickering light or not, are forced to their final exit. The audio for the work is a combination of collected sounds from nature and effects highlighting the lively approach to producing the piece.
