- Description
- 1 film reel (42 min.) : sd. col.; 16 mm.
- Summary
- An extension of the filmmaker's earlier flicker films, this work investigates the nature of the film-strip itself. "His analysis is constructed on close-up footage of water currents in a stream bed. In each of the three, 14-minute loops, he progressively decreases the number of superimposed current directions from six to one. He adds continuous straight scratch lines in multiples of three, so that by the end of the work, the screen is a grill of twenty-four lines behind which we see the coursing water. The soundtrack, operating on entirely different rhythms, is a series of word loops. All available systems of experience are contrasted with their logical opposites/complements."
