Content Notes: Discussion of pet death.
Synopsis: Through the lens of a child experiencing their first death of a pet, this video work muses on the ways that humankind distances itself from the truth of our animality, and how the digital realm we have fortified in the past 20 years pretends to be separate from our physical plane.
Artist Bio: Mara Ramirez is an Ignatz nominated interdisciplinary artist and educator from San Francisco, California. They play with time, abstraction, and the action of mark making as a means of distorting & clarifying their own experiences through the filter of emotion and memory. Employing both comics and animation, they ruminate on the body and its place in the natural world through metaphor, fantasy, and realism alike. Bending images of biological life, the stories they tell range in content; from poetic meditations on gender, to funny and sad character studies in cartoon formats. @forever4pm on ig /// https://www.mara-ramirez.com/
