Karolina Sobecka

Chase

Abstract:
Animated cartoons keep pace with the car in a never ending chase. Their speed corresponds to the speed of the car.
Infantilized representation of concepts of danger, violence, fear, persecution stands in absurd contrast to the stark reality of the urban LA context.
