    Synopsis

    A moon-like ball of dough is rolled out. Abbreviations of the months of the year appear on the dough, and are cut apart. The twelve dough segments are neatly hung over the edge of a bowl, but soon after are balled up and made ready to be rolled out again.

    Hatching

    • 2013
    • Chantel Mierau

    To hatch is to struggle to get out of an place of idyllic warmth, nourishment and safety before it kills you. A hand, wrapped in layer upon layer of white thread hangs like a cocoon from above. We watch in close-up as the hand fights to free itself.

    There Were Socks

    • 2013
    • Chantel Mierau

    Against a narrative composed half of laundry tips and half of the creation story of Genesis chapter 1, white and black clouds of socks drift by.

    The Clean house

    • 2011
    • Chantel Mierau

    In this two channel video, the image of cutting and sewing a pure white cloth underpins a narration about clean laundry, comfortable chairs, moths, dust and death, drawing parallels between repetition in the home, and tradition in the House of God.
