A firm reliance; the condition and resulting obligation of having confidence transmitted by one to another; falling without thinking; unquestioning questions; a certainty about a future unknown; satisfying failure; competence rather than lack of benevolence; irrational devotion and love at first site.

"rappelling/ abseiling: videos about trust" connects a group of video artists whose work tackles intense and complicated ideas understanding relationships of trust. While addressing interpersonal relationships, the power dynamics between objects of disgust and longing, and the manipulation of language and performance, these artists also examine trust within themselves and the work they are presenting.
