Dellfina&Dellacroix Biography
Agnieszka Dellfina and Thomas Dellacroix combine Thomas’ interest for history with Agnieszka’s fascination with human nature. Their joint projects deal with subjects like fame, image, identity and originality in context of collective memory, popular culture and mass medial manipulation. By re-enacting different personalities and historical events they created their own Utopian world, where they balance on the thin border between reality and illusion.
Their cooperation spans from photography, photomontage, painting and collage, to video, music, and performance. They are pioneers in a still largely unknown LENTICULAR technique, where pictures put in layers and covered with a prismatic perplex sheet, create a video-morphic sequences.
The artists have worked for the benefit of several human rights organizations including: Amnesty International, Red Cross, World Childhood Foundation, The International Research Foundation for Children’s Eye care, S.O.S Group, and Bris – Children’s Right in Society. Some of their images are featured in several books including: ” Designs of dissent” and “Peace Signs”.
