Additional Information

"During the residency I will continue the practical work on my PhD project 'The Family Portrait'. This will be a 7 screens animation installation for a gallery space. I will make and animate two puppets (brothers) who are part of a bigger family. The brothers will be captured in a moment of intimacy, for about 3 minutes. This short animation piece will be the first in a row of fragmented narratives, that I intend to produce in the coming year. This first fragment will be also presented as a stand-alone piece titled 'Anatomy of a Hug'." (Lea Vidakovic)
