Mixed format documentary film following The Live Action Set as they build and construct their Ice Shanty.

Premiering at The Soap Factory, July 2005.

I return to the Live Action shanty. By this time my Reynaud’s syndrome has given me three white, dead-looking fingers. I go inside and shut the door and understand: the ice here isn’t aerated and cloudy, but clear, so that I can see down into the frozen lake. Light from outside makes the ice glow. I’m looking into green veins, lines of precious ore or star-laden universal arms or neural pathways; thought or movement or love leaps along the living networks. I’m too cold to stay, but I know I’m lucky to see this, to have a glimpse of that larger field to which both death and life belong.
