Trapped in their frames and monitored by a menacing curator, two paintings long to
escape from the art gallery's white walls. As the paintings lock eyes across the room,
an unspoken connection forms between them that sets the stage for revolution. With
a distinctive blend of live-action and animation, this short film by Evan Bode employs
surreal metaphor to explore ideas about power, resistance, queer identity, visibility,
and liberation from constructed borders.
