Eaten
Director: Anne Haydock
Run Time: 6 minutes, 19 seconds
Released: May 2006

A game of dress-up: windows and wallpaper, hawks and moths, olive loaf and tinfoil. The sounds and gestures of the everyday gather to become the pre-articulated vocabulary of desire, anxiety, and basic human needs.

The piece uses rephotography to incorporate elements from a site-specific installation with additional super-8 footage, combining direct animation, timelapse photography, and choreography for the projector with found and foleyed non-sync sound to create a sometimes lyric but often jarring meditation on what it can mean to eat and be eaten.

Eaten has been exhibited at the Battle of the Cities Film Festival, Chicago; Art on Film @ The Museum of Fine Art, Boston; Delta International Film Festival, Cleveland, MS, among other festivals.
