Concept
The man behind Winkies from David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive (2001) is a beast that enters the artist’s mind when he feels uncanny in a place like the slaughterhouse. By mimicking the man and replacing the image with himself, Gazell attempts to kill the beast in exchange for something more familiar and less frightening.
