Athina Kanellopoulou- The Mask (animation)

Athina Kanellopoulou- The Mask, 2014
Animation (01’.31”) handmade/sketch, frame to frame, digitized through the scanner.

"The Mask" project focuses on a mental state, depression. The animation was chosen as a medium to make a direct reference to childhood where the core of such mental manifestations lies more often. "The Mask" dives into an inner state where sadness dominates over a situation extroverted and happy since the substantially depressed person actually feels the need to wear the mask- the fake face of bliss; this need is signified by the installed mask.
Using symbols such as the mask, the stairs, the sharp scissors it explores the Freudian analyzes of the inner journey that is neither regional nor temporal but only psychological on internal and imaginary space.
