Holotropic EP

30th Apr. 2012

Continuing with the idea of egalitarian>>protean form mentioned in the Healthy Spine post below, I recently completed a new video, Holotropic EP, which you can watch here.

I am thinking of it as a Will to Metaphor, (capitals and italics for Nietzschean read existential implications). An insistence on thought as action, action as language, language as body and body as thought … and so on and so forth, forever embodied interchangeably. The word holotropic describes moving towards wholeness, again, assimilating the components that comprise self and those components in which self is manifest – body/mind/language.

The video was shot in Omaha, edited in the public libraries of Montreal and finalised in Toronto, where I was just in Keren Cytter’s I’m gonna call it challenging new play I Eat Pickles At Your Funeralwhich was an ‘off-screen’ event at this year’s Images Film Festival.
