Curses

The experimental animation films by Jodie Mack unleash the kinetic energy of material remnants of domestic and institutional knowledge to illuminate the relationship between decoration and utility. Straddling the boundary between rigor and accessibility, her cinema questions how we ascribe value to things.

Produced as a videoclip for the band ROOMMATE, the self-styled "anti-animator" (for the choppiness of her images) Jodie Mack uses cutouts of marbled paper to create several fast and dynamic scenes, even including a hommage to a choreography in Singing in the Rain.
