The trippy world of Peppré Ann & Froends seems to be coming out of the worst youtube nightmare. Pop culture references, terrifying cgis, real people behaving like buggy simulations and a lot of campness construct a surreal universe inviting us to an addictive binge viewing. Modern dystopia, new media hysteria and relentless fun: Peppré Ann, a heroine of our post-truth times.

Joseph Kraska aka Babe E., leads a full life in his home studio: composing music, animating, directing his friends around, playing dress-up, and crafting seasonal “wreoths” to share with his friends and family. Making music videos for Peppré Ann to star in, is his main motivation. He has recently directed music videos for Bushwick superstar, Macy Rodman, as well as provided visuals for Colin Self’s opera Siblings (Elation VI), which premiered in NY at MoMA PS1 this past April. Joseph will be showing work at The Anti Art Fair London this fall, as well as putting together his first solo show at Secret Project Robot in Brooklyn this November.
