In Bipolar Abraham Hurtado and Kotomi Nishiwaki create worlds of fantasy where one can always be someone else, losing their indentity and acquiring another to make their obsessions and perversions real. «We use videogames to escape from the pressure imposed by the frenetic rhythm of contemporary societies» say Abraham Hurtado and Kotomi Nishiwaki.
