Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life with reverence in order to give it true value. — Albert Schweitzer
Double Take: The Art of Elizabeth King engages the viewer in
the work of sculptor and stop-action filmmaker Elizabeth King, who
embarks on each new project by posing a single question to herself: “Can
this be physically done?” Tracing King’s creative flow, curiosity and
obsessive drive to solve the inevitable series of artistic and technical
problems that arise in creating her disconcerting sculptures and
animations, this documentary film explores King’s passion about the
mind/body riddle, the science of emotion, the human/machine interface,
and those things a robot will never be able to do. From studio to
exhibition, and in conversations with fellow artists, curators and
critics, the film asks what looking at and seeing one another means in
an increasingly mediated world.
