The Birth of Bardo

 
 
In Millett’s first film, The Birth of Bardo, enigmatic figures appear. But, similar to the installations and photographs, much is left to the imagination. Seesaws, wings, chairs, and even a coffin reappear and expand Millett’s vast lexicon of imagery.

The Tibetan word bardo is translated as an intermediate state, transitional state, or the state in-between. Waking, sleeping, meditating, dying, wandering in the spirit world, reincarnating; all of these are bardos.  Generally, the term is used to designate the period between death and rebirth.
