Introduction to Alchemy

2018 • Directed by

Mike Hoolboom

Unable to leave my apartment universe and attend the Alchemy Film and Moving Image Fest in Scotland, I sent along this digital stand-in instead, composed and commissioned as an introduction to Aftermath, a four-part, feature-length found footage bio-pic. Direct camera address is overlaid with in and outtakes from my movie archive. Inspirations from Audre Lorde and my brilliant friend theorist Laura Marks who explained her mirror-touch synaesthesia.
