Multi-channel video and animation work
For his animation project Shadi HabibAllah did hundreds of drawings of hominoid figures and, as in previous works, imbued the figure or "mechanical form" with human attributes. The figures rendered in black line animation are stripped of any emotive or symbolic references, yet they enact the cycle of life, of procreation, birth and death.
