VIDEO: HAPPY FOREVER

A series of short films featuring a cast of bemused forest creatures transplanted into absurd situations, this series has slowly evolved from an initial fascination with the uncanny visual and narrative similarities found between ‘furrie fetishist culture’ and The Muppet Show into a more complicated work interested in exploring the relationships that exist between human beings and the companion species with which they share the world. Throughout, Spy has (in line with her overall aesthetic) vowed to use those peoples (friends, neighbors, random folks on the street) and materials (long-johns, discarded carpets, and thrift-store finds) within her closest reach – rather than professional actors, soundstages, and sets – to make Happy Forever come alive. Happy Forever has thus been a project performed by a cast of individuals brought together through their shared love of malt liquor and independent film making, and its beauty is located in its incongruous use of tube socks.
