The universe is a tarantula... a big black tarantula... a tarantula that walks and weaves its own web”. In her most recent film, Narcisa Hirsch repeats this phrase as though a kind of mantra. A metaphor appearing as the leitmotif of a vision of the universe and its mystery.
“The freedom of working with very little money is the freedom from having to sell, it is the freedom of working at home and by hand, without big crews or sets. Nor any time constraints. One shot is taken per day, or one per year. Each one chooses their time and space. For that reason, and for everything else, experimental film is a subversive art, more so than documentary or political cinema. More subversive than intellectual or conceptual cinema. Which is why so few go into it, and even fewer stay”. Narcisa Hirsch
