Winner at the New Media Film Festival, Berkeley CA, of the Best Artwork Award in 2007. As people move, the psalm unfolds in a kind of 3-D poetry on their skin. This beautiful psalm, in its reverie, grief, praise, fear and submission, ends with the word "forever" appearing on the body of a tottering baby, who then speaks the ultimate name.

  • ...Surely goodness and mercyness shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Amen.

He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod, thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup runneth over...

  • Or more likely, it's above what people are used to so it challenges their perceptions of what this psalm should be. Blessed are the gatekeepers of life.
