Abstract
This autobiographical-fantastical work-in-progress animation is about a girl who eats people. Kay Whale, a lovable force composed of many beings, is growing malevolent. Absurdist and depraved, Female Hallucinations is as much about possession as it is about the ways our unexamined traumas can turn into weapons against the world. It is a personal examination of the effects of misogyny, racist privilege, multiplicity, violence, and loss.
