Carnival Daring-Do video collaboration with Carla Poindexter (2007)

Posted on August 1, 2012August 1, 2012 by Jay Batzner

In quantum physics, there is no such thing as negative space. Everything is filled. In the animated short, Carnival Daring-Do, inevitably propelled characters journey into fields of energized micro and macro space, in a mind-expanding reverie touching on current philosophic preoccupations, cosmic homesickness, and lyrical emotions.

“You find yourself floating high above a rolling gray, geometric landscape inside someone’s dream. Presently you are either soaring or the ground below you is falling away. You are not breathing but then you determine–almost comfortingly–that you have no physical body and no need for air. You are disoriented but strangely exhilarated. What has happened to gravity? Where are you? How did you get here?”

-Excerpt from an essay in response to Carnival Daring-Do by Mark Price, Writer and Artist, 2007.
