Digital animation, VHS transfer
PIXELA-ZZZ is a moving image work shaped by the breakdown of visual clarity through sleep deprivation and prolonged screen exposure. Through exposing the errors of video encoding and compression the work presents the unstable nature of the video frame. Created in a state of digital exhaustion, the film reflects a blurred and unstable perception where figures dissolve into abstraction and details drift out of reach. The characters walk forward while the camera slowly pans away, creating a push and pull between viewer and subject that creates disconnection. 

Repeated acts of digital distortion mirrored my own strained vision, as the screen became both a tool of creation and act of deterioration. What unfolds is a detached and hazy routine, where walking feels suspended in a digital daydream and clarity fades as quickly as it forms.
