Sohy Laci (Wassup Larry) is a 3D character developed during a residency in Târgu Mureș, Romania, based on the artist’s personal body scan. The work emerged as a response to moments of solitude, with the character serving as a digital companion within an isolated environment.
Extending beyond a static object, Sohy Laci was transformed into an interactive Instagram filter, allowing friends to incorporate the character into their own videos and spontaneous digital scenarios. Alongside this, the artist constructed a fictional narrative in which Sohy Laci exists as a double who has escaped into the world. Viewers are invited to “spot” and document him, while being cautioned that the figure they encounter is not the artist himself.
Blurring the boundaries between presence and simulation, intimacy and humor, the project operates both as a personal coping mechanism and a participatory artwork.
