According to the exhibition catalogue Walk Ways, curated by Stuart Horodner:



Hillclimbing is a video work to be watched on a monitor while wearing headphones. In it, Cardiff and Miller are heard walking toward the top pf a snow-covered hill. Miller films his own advancing point of view, which includes the ground, the sky, and the couple’s dog, who runs ahead barking and waits for them at the top. We hear the sound of their physical effort: their labored breaths and the crunch of boots in the snow. When Miller falls down, we hear Cardiff say, “Are you okay?” “Yeah,” he answers, and the piece loops back to the beginning, so that, at least on the video, the summit is never reached.
