ABOUT

Uncontrollable urges are creative in their escape routes, and the urge to live is a self-manufacturing, godlike emotion feeding on anything in its path to beget a process of mutual internalization in the way bees vibrate to disseminate the information that food has been found. "A Picture of a Man Called UrgeToLive" shows Chaim Gebber sharing the entrancement of zealous dancing with the viewer, as he expresses insuppressible joy through nifty, clever footwork. In response to Hemmingway’s six-word story: “These aren’t baby shoes, they’re not for sale, and they’re definitely being worn.”
