Skin Deep

Taking the flamboyant character of King Ludwig II of Bavaria as its starting point, the video work Skin Deep takes the viewer on a spirited journey around the notion of artifice. Set to a carefully composed and climactic original soundtrack, portraiture, fantasy castles and surprising constructs are brought together and appropriated in order to harness both a dream like celebration of exuberant taste and a confrontation of internal desires. Made in collaboration with Simon Le Ruez.
