This video was part of Mercedes Helnwein's solo exhibition of Sep 2008 "WHISTLING PAST THE GRAVEYARD" at the Merry Karnowsky gallery, Los Angeles. The formerly frozen characters of her drawings jerk to life for the first time in thick saturated colors. The toys, antlers and masks are carried over from paper to video, creating a strange world powered by the machine-like movements of the women who are the central inhabitants of Mercedes Helnwein's work -- the perpetrators and the trouble-makers. Music was composed by Ali Helnwein.
