Sonja and Corpsie (2017)

1 min 56 secSingle channel / Digital Video / Colour / Sound

"Sonja and Corpsie are two people I met organically who feel safest and most themselves in imagined worlds; Sonja in the online multimedia game second life, and Corpsie at Furry meetups. I spoke to Sonja and Corpsie each about what these worlds mean to them, and created a voice over track re-telling their stories — set to Sonja's second life footage and video footage of Corpsie posing in the rabbit mask and gloves he made for himself" - Ary Jansen
