Mikhael Subotzky is an artist who works in multiple mediums, including film installation, video, photography, collage and painting. Subotzky was a collaborator on Season 7 of The Centre for the Less Good Idea.

In the artist’s words: “Covid-19 has meant a shift in how the studio is working. I’ve set up a studio at home, and studio staff are also working remotely, but what has not changed is the intense animation process that I started during the Centre for Less Good Idea’s Season 7 workshops. That work, titled ‘Disorded, and Flatulent: A Work In Progress’, looks at the inheritance of wealth and woes through the lens of a violence given and violence received; privilege and pain passed on from one generation to the next. This chapter features three main characters: Jan van Riebeek, Rembrandt, and this talking fellow – Milton. ‘One Minute Milton’ is an experiment in bringing a printed image to (digital) life by hacking a number of programmes I know very little about.”
