Bodily Heavens I & II2011

BODILY HEAVENS I, 5 min. Close proximity and deep space collide in the first in a series of stop-motion animations created under a microscope. BODILY HEAVENS II, 18 min. In Bodily Heavens, close proximity and deep space collide. Stop-motion techniques animate microscopic slides, transforming the inner functions of the body into a site where cells breathe, pulse, and disperse, evoking an underground abyss, a sublime spacescape, a deep-sea world. The shifting, crowding forms succumb to the sounds of Luigi Nono, which conjure a church choir lost in reverb.
