THE WHOLE SHEBANG(2019)

Black and white evokes nostalgia for The Great Depression. Things were so cheap, including lives. We see daredevils (desperate people) compete for money prizes. Baby prepares for WW2. [Originally a 70mm projection-performance, 1982, by Ken and Flo Jacobs. From THRILLS AND CHILLS (Castle Films, c. 1930)].

RECIPROCAL(2020)

First two-cycle Eternalism. Interesting for the contrast of movements and depth configurations but also in indicating an end to the display and releasing the viewer, but with the option of repeating.
