Throwback deep fake / The Taxidermist of Live Pelt (2003) by kelly heaton

Before returning to my current obsession with French wallpaper and botanical circuit boards, here is some more "deep fake" for you from my 2003 Live Pelt installation. The Taxidermist is one of eight characters I invented to cope with American culture in post-9/11 reality. This is my re-cut of footage originally shot and edited by Shambhavi Kaul and Joshua Gibson. Live Pelt was made possible thanks to support from Creative Capital, the LEF Foundation, and Duke University.
