OPERA / Erick Oh (US)

OPERA is a massive animation installation that portrays our society and history with all its diversity of beauty and absurdity. A civilization rises and falls (and rises again) in a continuous movement. The animated film can be seen as a contemporary animated development inspired by Renaissance fresco paintings and artists such as Bosch, Michelangelo, and Botticelli. With myriad details, Erick Oh recounts a repetitive human history and provides insights into the range of human emotions. His OPERA is hopeful, funny, thoughtful, frightening, and sad all at once. It challenges us to question the mechanisms of society and our own behavior, and to learn from the past.
"OPERA" won the Award of Distinction at the Prix Ars Electronica 2021.
