Film: Hoping Tomorrow Will Already Be Different From Today

Bio: “Hoping Tomorrow Will Already Be Different From Today” is a collaborative video by Ivette Spradlin and Lenore Thomas. The base image of timelapse clouds from Ivette’s bedroom window, captured over 2-3 years, were manipulated by Lenore who responded to the colors found in the sky and created blocks that move through the silhouetted row of homes on the bottom half of the screen. The pace of the video is determined by the music Mureed by Michael Harrison. It was created for the Microtonal Music Festival where the Del Sol Quartet performed live with the projection at The Andy Warhol Museum. Made only weeks before the world went on lockdown, the video felt particularly poignant during the pandemic, a representation of the movement and changes that continue to occur despite physical stagnation.
