Behind the Walls and Under the Stairs
3 minutes, 35mm (1.37), sound, 2006

the spiders are organizing themselves…one day soon they’ll take over.

Phantasmic photograms crawl across the emulsion, their flow arrested via re-photography, these marks look like multi-hued spiders crawling towards a new berth. Again and again. Falling from the horizon of the frame line in warm hues of red and purple and brown. A movie of theme and variations, noting the small changes of tone and texture and opacity. Every day I don’t have a new best friend, a new job, a new home. I live within the frame, trying to find freedom in my restrictions, my life. [Mike Hoolboom, 2007]
