Dispenser of Delights deals with people’s longing for the “sublime”, for eternal beauty.

In Hungary real estate photos are often taken whilst still in use, so this is a great opportunity to peek into people’s homes. I downloaded / collected some of these photos and I imagined the inhabitants in these flats.

The final result is a 4:30 min. video and series of paintings painted on prints.

The video is an animation loop. It is composed of several collage-like scenes. The background is based on a 3D space with textures of photos of  the real estate advertisements that were downloaded from the internet. The protagonists are invented characters that are painted and animated in 2D.
