Character makeups involving prosthetics for both face and body. Dummies and gore effects all comes together in this dark fairytale.
A demanding project with my work in close to every frame. Director Emilie had a very clear vision on how she wanted the gory parts to be stylized and artsy with a pinch of camp... It was a very interesting, complicated and challenging project.

"VENICE BIENNALE, 2022"
Art production for Danish artist Uffe Isolotto as a part of his contribution to the Venice Biennale, 2022. Being a colab between different companies with different skills, I was in charge of building the human parts of the two centaurs that was the center pieces at the installment. The human parts had to be 20% larger than life, making them quite big - yet something most of the audience never realized when when visiting the exhibition...
