Summary
It is the fault of the new studio on the eighteenth floor: at first, the fascinating view of the Manhattan skyline, seen from his studio on Union Square, distracted T.J. Wilcox from work but ultimately inspired him to create In the Air: using sixty thousand individual photographs, one shot every second by four cameras over a period of fifteen hours, Wilcox assembled a half-hour-long 'film in the round'. Projected onto a screen, the film completely surrounds the viewer. On top of this three-hundred-and-sixty degree panorama, the artist layers six short features [including four] ... about a variety of individuals from the city: Antonio Lopez, the fashion designer who lost his life to AIDS but was an inspiration to the teenaged Wilcox. His former apartment is visible from Wilcox's new studio. In Silver Cloud we see Andy Warhol during a performance. Precious Mettle recounts the complex life of Gloria Vanderbilt, socialite, fashion designer and artist. In a moving short film, the superintendent of the studio's building tells of his experience on 9/11.
