Name/Artist Nick: Nikole Hidalgo McGregor Personal URL (optional): ig: @nkledoes fb: www.facebook.com/nkleh Country: Canada Work title/duration: Despair / 00:03:00 Year/country when/where it was made: Canada Short description (1 sentence): ​​​​​​​“Despair” is a multi-technique animation that circles ideas of access to safe abortion through imagery. Explication (no more than 600 words): “Despair” is a multi-technique animation that circles ideas of access to safe abortion through imagery. This project has been inspired by the current situation of women in Peru, where abortions are illegal even in cases of rape; and the United States today, facing a government that is openly against abortion. This short animation is a mixture of 2D, 3D, and stop-motion animation composed into a single thematic video that contains audio samples of male politicians and public figures from the USA and Peru. It makes use of a non-narrative space and is guided by visual analogies.
