Plot
Passing On a lyrical typically confessional effort that encapsulates whats preceded it Hoolbooms dance with death a motif acknowledged in the medieval woodcut segues between segments resonates in doubleexposed shots of anonymous people simply crossing a square some of them real others shown as faint literal ghosts coexisting with those still in the temporal present In voiceover Hoolboom talks about the conspiracy of chromosomes that make up the human being but the phrase is ironic for him nothing is more real or human or felt than what that conspiracy has created
