A Life-Sized Mannequin Stop Motion Animated with the Help of Strangers
Artist Anton Hecht recently created an unusual stop motion film using photos of a giant life-sized mannequin. Instead of doing the animation themselves, the team invited random strangers who were walking by to help move the dummy around in the public square. The video above is what resulted from their help under careful direction. “It was a good deal harder and more complex thank it looks to do,†Hecht tells PetaPixel. He says that the idea had been brewing in his mind for about two years. After finding a mannequin for sale online...

Ironically,...

Hopper has certainly had a profound effect on many contemporary, or near-contemporary, artists – a range of artists with very different conceptual imperatives, but most of whom finding something compelling in Hopper’s visual language. Whereas the likes of David Lynch (cinema) and Gregory Crewdson (photography) seem most influenced by Hopper’s disquiet or hauntingly isolated vignettes – their work in different ways a sort of burlesque of the banal Americana and related psychological undercurrents, Kingston’s...
