Machinima video on LED matrix panel

The work on display uses the machinima technique and the avatar as expressive elements to explore the theme of the dualism of the Madonna-Prostitute and personal identity. The video on the LED matrix panel presents a series of images that represent the extension of the identity through the avatar, which becomes an independent and evolving totem.
