"Waltzing cheek-to-cheek with a grinning skeleton, filmmaker Barbara Hammer sets the tone ... . Hammer's Vital Signs is dedicated to a trio of losses, including her late father and Curt McDowell, a fellow filmmaker who died of AIDS in 1987. Her recurring motif of a danse macabre makes a jarring symbol for the will to reconcile spirit and body; as she caresses and cradles the all-too-familiar form, Hammer fashions an artful, elegantly disturbing keynote address." — Calvin Ahlgren, San Francisco Chronicle
This chilling tape, "operatically" conceived — but neither a musical nor a documentary — probes the objectification of women and others in a technological/bureaucratic society. At its core is a long, continuous shot that reveals the part-by-part measurement and evaluation of a woman by a...

Waje’s Cockabunnies is structured like the mid-century children’s television show “Romper Room,” in which the host leads children through activities and craft demonstrations. Breer captures Wojarowicz’s creative process as he sits at a child’s desk, cuts out bunny ears and tails, and secures them to the cockroaches with Q-tips and rubber cement. The audience, comprised of Breer, her sister and filmmaker Emily Breer, and Emily’s boyfriend David Baillie, frequently interjects with amused commentary and laughter.
The artist walks around Brooklyn, angling the camera towards the ground and interacting with assorted debris in the process: a discarded strawberry, a Pepsi-branded cup, dead leaves, a Citibike dock, and more.
Note: This work is only available for purchase as part of Point of View: An Anthology of the Moving Image.
