Rachel Maclean is an internationally acclaimed artist known for her vibrant yet unsettling digital videos and prints, often created using green-screen technology. Drawing on references from popular culture, her work blends seductive visuals with darker, thought-provoking themes of identity, class, nationalism, and gender.

Maclean’s debut deepfake film, DUCK, featuring Marilyn Monroe and Sean Connery, immerses viewers in a world of artifice and intrigue within an AI-generated landscape. This 16-minute film uniquely employs deepfake technology to resurrect these iconic actors through machine learning, chronicling Connery’s descent into chaos after witnessing Monroe’s return from the dead. Visually captivating, funny, and technically innovative, DUCK takes elements from classic Hollywood, video games, film noir, and sci-fi to raise compelling questions about truth and power.
