Without You Baby, There Ain't No Us
Without You Baby There Ain't No Us, is a project from Swiss Artists Admir Jahic and Comenius Roethlisberger (The Invisible Heroes). The duo has taken on a massive workload about the absurd, a handdrawn animation recreating the infamous Star Wars Kid Youtube video. 604 drawings, each are individually framed and on display at the Scope art fair in Basel this week.
Project Details:
In an attempt to disrupt the haphazard collection of archived videos that YouTube has become, artist duo Comenius Roethlisberger and Admir Jahic transformed the visual (and virtual) language of “broadcasting” into a physical medium by producing illustrations on heavy handmade paper and recreating virtual references by allowing elemental art materials to do what they do best and add to the confusion.
Each drawing is 21 inches x 31 inches / 56cm x 76cm and based on a rendered freeze-frame, complete with video title, user ratings and number of views.
The resulting collection is both distressing and humorous in its ability to highlight our often vulgar predilections.
