Slow Graffiti was produced for Da Corte's exhibition at the Vienna Secession in 2017. The video is a shot-for-shot remake of the film "The Perfect Human" by Danish filmmaker Jørgen Leth (1967). The original is narrated in an anthropological manner, or as if listening to a guide at a zoo, but Da Corte's version is stranger and more philosophical. Leth's film has uncomfortable implications, such as: is the perfect human white, attractive, detached? The original, which is shot with a sense of fashion (resembling contemporary clothing commercials), offers mixed signals about objectivity, and at the very least a provocation about the notion of human perfection.
