Trump Pinochet

This short experimental animation reflects tensions and apprehensions around the growing autocratic tendencies in the US and the world at large. It references Donald Trump and Augusto Pinochet, authoritarians who successfully manipulated public perceptions and attitudes to centralize power and wealth while undermining the democratic and moral underpinnings of their respective nations. It's uncertain spaces, course textures, clumsy imagery and dissonant sounds resonate with the tenuousness of these developments and these times.
