Seduction of the Armageddon Witches

As per Diego's vimeo:
"This is the first video of Mater Suspiria Vision that is not made by Cosmotropia de Xam

The theme that unites the whole story is the duality of humans: femininity and masculinity. Inherently, the video explores how to get a foothold in this present time: restoring the importance of femininity in men, and the importance to women in a society governed by the largest patriarchy, the Catholic Church.

The apple brings to mind "Adam and Eve". Rather than Satan's temptation for knowledge, this symbol for me has a special meaning of purity. The woman, or the female side, emerges victorious at the end of the video, because she can "mix" with this purity. While the man, because of his violence, is not able to hold the apple in his hands and destroys it. Also this purity is related with the mankind approaching to their animal side"

How Do You Want to Be Kissed

Ok. My only issue will this device is... I don't like tongue aka french kissing. I've never really been one to fancy having someone else's tongue roaming around in my mouth. I can't even tickle myself into watching kissing scenes on tv or in movies when there is a saliva exchange. Ewwh, I'm grossed out lol. But, a lot of people love it, so who am I? One person on this earth that does not like to french kiss. To each's own :)

THE DREAM OF WILD PONIES DANCING (2011)
The Dream of Wild Ponies Dancing documents the wild ponies of the night in their natural habitat.  In the quiet deep green of a sandy midnight forest, four wild ponies recognize each other as kin and develop a sense of connection and family.  Half human, all beast, the ponies run free on a mystical adventure through the dunes, arriving to a deserted beach as gray dawn breaks.  The movement is captured silently in super-grainy black and white super-8 film, presented with original score by Princess Tiny & the Meats.
Quito Ziegler is an independent producer, photographer, faeriebird and dreamer.  She shoots in the dark and leaves a trail of glitter behind her.  Quito received her MFA from the International Center of Photography/Bard College in 2008, where she now serves as faculty.  Recent projects include curating and producing Into the Neon at chashama: Chelsea and The Artist is Absent at 25CPW, producing the documentary photography exhibitions Moving Walls 16, 17, and 18 at the Open Society Institute, and travelling cross-country on an epic faerie journey in an unmarked white van called the Trojan Pony.
