Figs in Motion

2010 - 8 minutes

Two men become six ballerinas and several horses in a bestial, impromptu corps de ballet. A riff on the imagery of Edgar Degas and the photography of Eadweard Muybridge.

Commissioned by the Art Gallery of Alberta in celebration of their grand reopening.

“‘Figs in Motion’ is such an unexpected crowd-pleaser, a slowly developing chuckle - the audience loved it.”

— Carl Bogner, programmer Milwaukee LGBT Film and Video Festival, guest programmer Ann Arbor Film Festival
