Never Sleep with a Strawberry in Your Mouth II
(CHE 2012, HD, 6 Min. 20 Sek., EOV)
European Premiere
Never Sleep with a Strawberry in Your Mouth II is the result of months of labour-intensive set building, filming, directing, editing, and digital manoeuvering. Situated between the sincerity of self-reflection and the synthetic imagery of pop culture, Wekua’s animations create pictorial representations of the past that help us better comprehend and grapple with the present.
