Using stop motion to bring hundreds of hand-made sculptures and foam puppets to life under a dramatically lit black and white backdrop, this film follows an artist who creates, and then destroys, statuettes. Join Marilyn Myller in the middle ground between creation and destruction and the meta-commentary on the art world that is born within. A wry dance unfolds, merging creativity and satire, as the film elegantly blurs the boundaries between the tangible and ephemeral realms.
