Serena Koroda
I found that Koroda’s basis in B-movie tropes and visuals and her interest in forgotten histories in particular to be very relevant to my work. Whilst I may not entirely like the way she conveys these concepts, I find the way in which she seeks to re-appropriate and reclaim abandoned histories fascinating. Whilst her work is often location based, the idea of creating new religions from an amalgamation of our historical mythologies and our new ideals and what we ‘worship’ in the present inspired me greatly, especially with her use of the visual language of Aping the Beast, in which she created a huge godzilla like monster to confront the digital worship of the present.
