In Cameron Coker’s experimental computer animation entitled Godot's Spider, a spider tends its web in the branches of a dead tree waiting for a fly that will never come. The sun beats down on the desert. The frigid night air blows through dead branches. The spider waits...and waits...and waits... Nothing to be done.Godot's Spider examines the concepts of time and duration as narrative and dramatic tools to heighten tension and create negative space that is filled by the audience themselves. These techniques and ideas are utilized to tell an ambiguous existential narrative about endurance in the face of an absurd and uncaring world.
