Stalking Self

_Stalking Self_ is part of an ongoing series of collaged animated narratives using image and sound sourced from popular media. _Stalking Self_ explores the myth of individuation, ascension, the relationship between predator and prey, and the erasure of personal history. The moment to moment (re)construction of the separate self, its illusion, is painstakingly held up to the point of exhaustion/crisis. The matrices of neurosis are used to build a platform for the deconstruction of identity.
