One of my favorite living artists is Olivier de Sagazan, a french sculptor, painter, and performance artist. He covers himself in clay, powder, and paint to transform himself in a continuous performance piece.

Both of these artist use film to capture their dark and spooky vision of life and form. They don't share the same work style, but both put their heart and soul into their work to convey the haunting and abnormal.

Live action/ stop motion response
Kara Walker's video was intriguing and haunting; the music, cuts, and motion felt at home with early forms of film. This feels like it belongs to a victorian period, but the subject matter of the atrocities of the slave trade and american slavery would not be portrayed at the time what so ever. The use of puppets being animated in real time allowed for a captivating performance and the allowance of more outcome being created with less invested time, in the sense that it takes a great deal of work to to create stop motion with a minimal outcome.
The stop motion videos, however, were more upbeat and entertaining. The use of taken frames being cut together to create motion allows for seamless transitions of changing objects. The best example of this is in the PES short, where one baseball is chopped into dice and those are "chopped up" into smaller dice simulating the dicing of onions. A lot of time and work are put into these shorts and it shows in the runtime and the captivating outcome.
