About
Why this artist matters now
Bob Sabiston is an American animator and filmmaker who pioneered digital rotoscope as a contemporary artistic medium. Working frame by frame over live-action footage, he transforms documentary material and philosophical inquiry into hand-drawn narratives of hypnotic visual intensity. His feature films and experimental works occupy a deliberate space between animation and live-action cinema, using the tracing process to extract strange beauty from mundane subjects.
