On the trail of Tall Tales, on a tour of an American treasure, on the path of an area once inhabited by people we don’t know, people we’ve never met, on a land complete with gift shops, parking lots, and sky rides, at the foot of a tree that predates and outlasts all of this, we now insert ourselves into a fog of layers.

Короткометражный мультфильм, основанный на серии детских книг Людвига Бемельманса. В 1935 году американский писатель женился на Мадлен Фрейнд, а спустя четыре года вышла его первая книга «Мадлен» о беспечной маленькой парижанке, обеспечившая автору широкую известность. У первой истории шесть продолжений. Сюжет одного из эпизодов многосерийного издания лег в основу этого мультфильма. Юная Мадлен воспитывается в пансионате для девочек. Она растет ровесниц — похожих на нее, как две капли воды хорошеньких девчонок, учится хорошим манерам, танцует и постигает грамоту. Но все-таки Мадлен отличается от своих подруг, начиная с того, что она не боится мышей и даже тигров.
In Capitalism: Slavery, Jacobs uses a Victorian stereograph (a double-photograph) of slaves picking cotton under the watchful eye of a white overseer as the source for this wrenching silent work. Through digital manipulation, Jacobs creates a haunting illusion of depth and movement. It is as if he has "entered" the image and reactivated this historical moment; he moves among the figures and isolates individuals, creating a stuttering, pulsing effect that suggests motion even as it animates stasis.
