Lipophobe

Lipophobe (Lipophobic) is part of the SPECULUM: 10 Characters series, created by the Dutch collective SMACK. Lipophobe speaks about physical image: a female character observes her bare skin, scarified with the words “fat pig”. SMACK is a collective formed by Ton Meijdam (Geldermalsen, Netherlands, 1973), Thom Snels (Tilburg, Netherlands, 1978), and Béla Zsigmond (Budapest, Hungary, 1975). This artistic collective uses 3D animation to create figurative videos that explore collective behaviour, digital identity, surveillance culture and the omnipresence of brands.
