Trans is a video exploring other personas morphed to myself. These transformations were collected from my posts on Instagram(@jabbati). They were originally created in Snapchat from my own photos and others I follow on Instagram. It’s a study of augmenting my reality with the outside world and creating a new narrative by rendering myself new to the world.
The San Francisco Examiners ran an article today featuring the LARGER THAN LIFE exhibit at Senator Scott Wiener’s office. http://www.sfexaminer.com/?p=175189
