Hybrid Vigour (1994)

Animates the surreal "biomorphs" created by celebrity zoologist Desmond Morris in his paintings. Morris wrote in The Secret Surrealist: "My greatest desire is to jump through the frame of one of my paintings, like Alice through the looking-glass, and disappear forever into my surreal world." A clip from Hybrid Vigour appeared in the BBC2 Personal Passions Series II - Episode One: Desmond Morris - The Surrealist, 1999. Zoologist Morris is author of The Naked Ape and The Human Zoo, host of many TV specials, art curator, and a world-class surrealist painter since the time of the original Surrealist group. Paintings were redrawn in Animator Pro and transformed, with permission from Morris, from reproductions in the book "The Secret Surrealist."
