The two set off on a journey to find any remaining relatives and begin dispensing violent justice on the evildoers of contemporary society; each encounter represents one of the seven deadly sins. The striking visuals are inspired by the 11th century Bayeux Tapestry. The video is a darkly funny tale of the corruption of modern life and the hazards of morality.</p> <p><a href="http://artbabble.org/video/hammer/erin-cosgrove" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://artbabble.org/video/hammer/erin-cosgrove#comments Animation Erin Cosgrove Talks video Contemporary Art Hammer Museum http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/16/167218f9be3367ea/poster-image-06.jpg 167218f9be3367ea Tue, 01 Sep 2009 01:00:22 +0000 amandacarolinelaw 3987 at http://artbabble.org
