Locals is the first in a series of digital portraits by new media and animation artist, Ego, showcasing locally native wildlife.

Presented as animated loops, working still images, video footage, illustration and animations together into vibrant, moving multimedia collages. These hypernature zoological portraits celebrate the ‘locals’ in a new, vivid light while attempting to tell the story of each animal and our relationship to them through the media woven within.

The featured locals in this series are animals that the artist (and indeed many people from the Eyre Peninsula) grew up knowing and loving; creatures unique or iconic to the region, symbols of what makes the Eyre Peninsula beautiful and unique, and ties that bind us all through shared experiences and keep us tightly and forever connected to the land and sea here.
