The Metamorphosis(2017)
Die Verwandlung
I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me...I cannot even explain it myself.
The Metamorphosis Synopsis
Translated from German, Die Verwandlung means, 'The Metamorphosis', a title that aligns with King Kong Magazine's 'Metamorphosis Issue' (September 2017), in which Jacobsen's imagery also appears. This notion encompasses a variety of the elements that were studied during Jacobsen’s residency at SHOWstudio in London. Jacobsen cites human shapes found in everyday objects, the intervention of the body through digital techniques, his experiences living abroad, and a focus on raw-looking materials and the unfinished in this work. Working with materials including plastic, dough, and inflated latex condoms, Jacobsen collaborated with mistress of make-up Alex Box to create a shape-shifting character played by dancer Jonathan Luke Baker. The final film and imagery reflect states of discord and harmony in the natural world, manipulated by Jacobsen's digital skill.
The Metamorphosis (2017) is a film directed by Jon Jacobsen, released on September 27, 2017 with a runtime of 3m. It stars Jonathon Luke Baker.
