Hole Theory

AORTA Films

12 min. Directed by Mahx Capacity

Curator's Note:

This project was created distally over the pandemic. Performers worked with director Mahx Capacity over zoom to craft the piece, which performer Ashley Paige self-shot. This film is AORTA films' first foray into animated work, featuring a collaboration with animator Oona Taper.


Description:

“The hole is not the entry nor the exit--it is the infinite interior, the space which cannot be Seen, only Felt.”

Hole expert Ashely Paige (she/her) and expert hole Corey More (they/them) star in this visceral meditation on the gloriousness of holes. With interdimensional illustrations by Oona Taper and sound design by Paleo Pony aka Jonah Rosenberg, Hole Theory explores the cosmic unknowability of that which engulfs. “Holes are the original time travel. You come out more yourself than you were when you entered: rearranged, holy, new. Holes make you whole.” Trust us. We know holes.
