Mitchell Gilbert Messina

(b 1991, South Africa. Lives and works in Cape Town)

Mitchell Gilbert Messina works primarily as a video artist; producing short narrative and conversational videos told through found images; re-purposed 3D models; stock footage; and foley sound packs. His work employs improvisational strategies: reacting to Google results; producing scenes before scripts and knocking jpgs and MDF sheets against each other until they make meaning.
