Variant Similarities is a video sculpture art piece that plays with the concept of identity. A single subject is shown at all times, yet this subject is created using different parts of already living subjects. With every screen change, the old subject is destroyed and a new subject is born. The constant destruction and creation of subjects on the screen breaks conventional concepts of how an identity is created by randomly producing a new one in front of the viewer. The viewer is, at the same time, a part of the piece because it is the combination of the three parts of the new subject in the viewers mind that gives this subject its identity.
