This is an excerpt, slightly over a minute, from my 2018 video, Spiral Garage. The original is 14 minutes.
A visit to a hypercritical world, where people continually lob insults at one another, creating a poisonous atmosphere which leads to a spiral of violence. In a symbolic downward journey through a garage, this animated film takes the viewer past junked cars, pizza pies used as missiles, and freakishly overgrown flowers, finally arriving at a level where the shared pain of loss offers a way to connect peacefully with others.
Like many of my videos, this is based on a completely improvised performance by the two actors, in this case myself and Ian W. Hill. After videotaping the improvisation, I created the music and then the additional images, as a way of investigating the content which appeared spontaneously in the improvisation.
