Yego zhena kuritsa, or Hen, His Wife

A lumpy blue man wearing a striped jacket attempts to clean his teeth, only to find himself and his whole flat engulfed by the paste, which, as the viewer discovers through a languid shift of angle, originates from his pet slug rather than a tube.

Such is the bizarre world created by Igor Kovalyov in the animated short, “Hen his Wife,” which tells the story of a man’s mental breakdown after he discovers that his wife is not who she appeared to be.

About spikemarlowe

Spike Marlowe and her Siamese twin sister were born to academics in Provo, Utah during the region’s speculative fiction renaissance. Since her teenage years, when Spike’s parents and sister entered the Federal Witness Protection Program--which necessitated the surgical separation of Spike from her sister (if you buy her a couple drinks and ask nicely, Spike may show you the scars)--she has held a variety of odd jobs, including a performer in a wild west show, detective, Bigfoot researcher and writer for an Internet content farm. Recently she found her calling as a Bizarro author. When she’s not writing fiction she works as a street busker in San Francisco. At night she fights crime. Her first novel, Placenta of Love, will be released by Eraserhead Press in November 2011.
