To all talks
This timeline explores the evolving thematic elements and recurring motifs present throughout Kitty Horrorshow's gameography. It highlights how these themes contribute to her distinct artistic style.
Establishing the Uncanny and the Domestic
Early Works (2014-2015)
Focus on unsettling the familiar, particularly domestic spaces. Houses become sources of horror, reflecting psychological unease and the breakdown of perceived safety. Themes of isolation, paranoia, and distorted memories begin to emerge strongly.
Expanding into Cosmic Horror and Existential Dread
Mid-Career (2016-Present)
Themes of cosmic horror become more pronounced, reflecting the insignificance of humanity in the face of vast, unknowable forces. Exploration of existential dread and the search for meaning in a meaningless universe. Interest in memory and the malleability of time.
Recurring Motifs: Liminal Spaces and Dream Logic
Ongoing
Persistent use of liminal spaces – transitional areas that evoke feelings of unease and disorientation. Incorporation of dream logic – narratives that defy conventional reasoning and prioritize atmosphere and emotional resonance over coherence. A constant exploration of the internal landscape projected onto the external world.
Critique of Modern Life and Technology
Ongoing
Subtle undercurrents of social commentary related to alienation caused by technology and societal expectations. Often portrayed through environments that feel abandoned or decaying despite their technological advancement.
