I really liked this. I think the music is poetic, and delicate, like a spider. I like how you show that Calder's work and friendship might have influenced Miro's work, which is unique to his own style and reflective of his personal aesthetics.

Thanks, I saw something that mentioned Calder had done set designs for a performance Martha Graham did with Satie's music, so I thought it might be appropriate. Then when I tried it, it fit pretty well

I like that the angles at which you filmed the mobile correspond to the other pictures you show, of spiders, Milky Way, etc. Really emphasizes the sources of Calder's inspiration. The music made me sad, though, I don't know why.

Yeah, it is a little sad, the title is "Lent et Douloureux" but it's also very peaceful and beautiful and worked with the changes so I stuck with it.

Wow first off i love the music with the art pieces and the spider very good assocation of art and movement.

i, too, think the spider is a great association to these types of works displayed in your video...i did feel a bit sad from the music...but after reading the other comments...the music is quote appropriate...

I really like how you had different associations depending on the angle. I'm always a fan of seeing things in different lights.
