Inspired by scores, propositions, and performative actions by Fluxus-era artists with cinematography by Justin Bunnell, editing by C. Alec Kozlowski, & sound composition by Sean Clute.

Killacky’s videos have been screened in festivals, galleries, museums, hospitals, and universities world-wide and are in the collections of numerous libraries and universities. His work has been televised locally in Minneapolis, Houston, and Vermont and nationally on Free Speech TV and PBS, and Cultura24 in Holland.
