Fútballet (2018), a sculpture and video by Lyndon J. Barrois, Sr., gathers miniature vignettes of twenty-one famous moments from the history of men's and women's World Cup soccer. Barrois's one-inch-tall players are crafted from gum wrappers, glue, and paint. These tiny sculpted "sportraits" come to life in his accompanying stop-motion animation, featured in the LACMA exhibition Fútbol Is Life: Animated Sportraits by Lyndon J. Barrois, Sr.
This flipbook features moments from Barrois's Fútballet video, presenting stop-motion glimpses of players representing the United States, France, Italy, Brazil, Belgium, Argentina, England, and Côte d'Ivoire, from matches played between 1965 and 2015. See if you can recognize these iconic athletes.
Barrois is an artist, animator, and visual effects professional known for his innovative work in stop-motion animation and visual effects. Born and raised in New Orleans, he began fashioning figures with wrappers at a young age and later studied graphic design, film and video, attending Xavier University and CalArts.
