HUFF: A GIVEN GIVE-IN, 2006
7 min video
With Huff: A Given Give-In, ordinary functions of the body (in hand gestures, breathing and swelling) become unsettled as they animate the transformation of man into beast. We stumble upon a forest and witness two males at a campsite. One in typical wilderness gear and the other crudely disguised as wolf, they engage in a strange erotic ritual of heavy breath and exhausted collapse.
Inspired by the simultaneous violence and tenderness of the childhood "passing out" game... it remains unclear if the couple is absorbed in schoolyard nostalgia, sadomasochistic role play, or whether we are to submit to the fantasy of werewolf lore as we imagine captor willing the human back out of wild creature.
