- Love Puddles, 2011, single-channel video
In the golden fringe of a far off galaxy, an alien planet teems with exotic life. Twiggy creatures rush to an ominous volcano and rub their bodies against its glittering surface, enticing the volcano to awaken and spray its gooey chaos across this furry world.
A collaboration between Michael Mallis and Mikey McParlane, MFA graduates in Film, Video, New Media & Animation at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Love Puddles is a collision of B movie beauty and camp splendor. It is featured in The Institute of Extraterrestrial Sexuality, a collection of artist works surrounding the theme of non-humanoid, alien erotica. It has also screened in the MIX: 25th NYC Queer Film Festival, Fetisch Film Festival (Kiel, DE), MUU Gallery (Helsinki, FI), Anthology Film Archives (New York, US), and A Gathering of Tribes Gallery (New York, US).
