a5c7b9f00b 2x2 came about by accident, via an experiment where I arbitrarily cut together two of my recent short films, each made with different intent and using music by two very different contemporary composers, Lois V Vierk and composer/cellist Ha-Yang Kim. Juxtaposing these two unlikely works would of course highlight differences within our sensibilities, but what is more compelling for me is to shed light on what we have in common. Each of us works within a layered, complex, and quite rigorous language of our own making; my guess is that the three of us hold a deep respect for the audience, and so seek ways within our unique media to create space, agency, and desire whereby each spectator may form her/his own meaning. But in no way did I anticipate the spark and mysterious deep resonance I experienced when I put these works together in a single piece. I've come to think of 2x2 as my "e-motion diptych" - and as a project that miraculously seems to transcend the unique sensibilities of each of us.
