Rebecca Agnew works with stop-animation, drawing and installation, often using the figure to compound narratives satirically distorting fact and fiction from an otherworldly perspective. Eve and Eve fall in love in paradise. Eve wishes to give Eve the biggest diamond at any cost. In a twist of fate the diamonds possession supersedes its value, imbued with tainted love the Eve’s act out wild addictions of vanity and jealousy. The diamond obsession causes the unravelling of what was once paradise. In contrast to Eve and Eve, the workers play out an endless struggle under the guise of structural violence revealing the widespread effects of loss and tragedy. In the meantime, a suicide bomber exhibits a confused sense of identity following orders of an indoctrinated mission. Encountering a conflicted decision and her sense of worth, she faces her immortality at the expense of good and evil.
