1. Glad you enjoyed it! I'm fascinated by Mike Hoolboom, so there were things sort of lying around... I think my favorite quote about this movie is Babz Chula's "It wasn’t even independent. It was beyond independent." :D

2. At least, we have Callum as an astronaut!

3. Yes. Food for a philosophical debate :)

4. ♥ back to you!

Wow, you found gold among the chaff - very impressive.

I hate the thought of the loss of any works of art, but the artist and the artistic process are fascinating subjects. If I recall from an earlier post, Callum never saw Frank's Cock in it's entirety. Somehow this whole disjointed cycle of Hoolboom's process makes sense to the ever-changing, never final reality of life, and the chaos of it's creation/evolution is fitting.

Sorry for rambling, I've come late to this mad obsession and really appreciate all the research involved.

You've pinned it down perfectly. Hoolboom's work is probably an extreme illustration of this ever adapting process and that's why I find it so fascinating in its honesty and permanent research. A bit dizzying too - always trying to stick with a reality which is permanently shifting.

Thank you for your rambling :)
