Project description
Parade creatures that portray the hybrid animals in the 'Faust' play by Goethe, who cross the veil from the spirit world on Walpurgis Night. To show that they are creatures outside of time, the construction method has been a mix between traditional and rather technological ways, enhancing the hybrid look. The creatures are divided into representation of the elements; water, air and earth. At night, the eyes, ribcage, and spine light up, further showcasing the elusiveness of the characters.
