Frances again.

AT HOME 1999/1997, w/ Stephen Prina's "The Achiever" (1999)

I  still don't know what she's trying to say, but the claustrophobic zoom of the camera, the feeling of being suffocated by fur, both within the frame and empathy with the cat licking the other cat. The apparent 'love' between the cats that turns so instantly to fighting in a small time frame, to the same song, in the same close quarters. The violent, almost possessive way the turtle cat is licking the ginger one... and of course the title- 'At Home'. I'd say, domestic claustrophobia and how too much of one thing, even a good thing, can turn nasty.
