Some two months ago we wrote about the grotesque, dream-Like video portraits by Donato Sansone. The latest (final) piece, a much longer one, includes new experiments utilising this fantastic technique.

“Portrait” is work in progress on a video installations that shows portraits as “paintings in motion”. These portraits are “pictorial”, grotesque, dream-like, abstract and surreal photographs of real people created using various video editing and compositing tools and techniques…

This long process that integrates editing and abstract movement of the image to a sense of surreal beauty to the whole much to think about to make a video, a video where in fact nothing happens unless the staging of these beautiful abstract portraits “live” with the possibility ‘of animated inserts of foreign elements within the scene that interact with the portraits.

Watch the final piece below. Fantastic work!
Sound by Enrico Ascoli.
