spidery (2002)

Overview

For spidery, mixing original shot material with colored filters, shown through a prism of water and cut crystal, to elongate and splinter the angular animal grace of the arachnidan limbs and elegant web, giving the appearance of a spider trapped in a microscopic pool or suspended within the actual projector lens. The music box soundtrack of Stockhausen's Zodiac rhymes the anthropomorphic notion of the plucked web as a sensitive stringed instrument.
