Marcela Baltarete

Artist Marcela Baltarete works predominantly with 3D modelling and animation software as well as film editing software to create their short rendered 3D animation films while also incorporating VR and AR in the process of informing and developing their work. Originally, they started exploring the human body’s transformative capabilities through the manipulation of fabrics and materials. Later, they moved entirely onto the digital space after becoming uncomfortable working with the physical human body, a discomfort that was triggered by their own feelings of gender dysphoria, depression, and chronic illness, which informed the narrative of their current work.
