RE-EMBODIMENT PARTS ONE & TWO

INFINITE BECOMING
“Infinite Becoming,” a series of three short films entitled “Dreaming Bees,” “Imagining Spiders,” and “Evoking Birds” strategize new forms of resistance. Among other influences, the films incorporate Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of “becoming animal” as a possible tactic to subvert the mechanisms that turn us into subjects useful for maintaining the existing order. The bees, spiders and birds here are not fixed categories and the women depicted do not actually become bees, spiders and birds, but through their dreaming, imagining, evoking, and becoming they enter a state of flux in which the boundary between human and animal disintegrates and new possible connections, relations and pathways emerge.
