METAMORPHIC SPIRIT, 2010
YUKA OYAMA AND BECKY YEE
Which animals have we replaced; which animals are hidden inside of us? Together with a NY based artist, Becky Yee, Oyama sought to display apparitions of the Berliners’ inner animals on a public media facade. To begin this artwork, Oyama interviewed 31 Berliners ranging in age from 6 – 86 and asked questions about which animal that they believe that are hidden inside them and give them energy. Afterwards, Oyama sketched their animals and created masks. Yee choreographed and photographed the interviewees who re-enacted essential movements of their animals. Consequently, we produced 31 stop motion video clips and projected them on the GASOMETER Screen, a 2,297 square feet (700 square meter) multimedia screen at night.
