Olga Tobreluts uses modern technology to render heroic battles of the past as hyper-realistic events that are populated with contemporary characters. This technique results in grotesque images of a virtual future assembled from recollections of a primeval past, where contemporary dancers and sports players battle dragons and demons in settings that are a direct reference to the baroque.
