For the Causing Trouble Again video, after hearing Bob Dylan sing about a white ladder all covered with water, I became obsessed with white ladders, Gina Birch says. I decided to use five white ladders, three with seven rungsI realized later that this references Jacobs Ladder and a connection from Earth to heaven, but I think I was thinking of ladders as a symbol of getting on, getting up. I wanted to have a choreographed movement with four of us with these ladders. How do we move with ladders? Do we move together, do we fight, do we dance? I also wanted to reference the wind scene from the film, The Colour of Pomegranates, and to include as many artist women from the Women in Revolt exhibition as I could.
