Seeing-Space and Hearing-Space - Original length/linear cut

1974 · 19 min

A rigorous, hypnotic experiment in split screens and sound that turns a still body into an abstract, cerebral performance.

Overview
Space Seeing - Space Hearing uses sound and image editing, as well as split-screen effects, to create a performance from a motionless body. The work comprises six distinct sections that create a rhapsody of sound and image. The original full-length/linear film cut of the performance. Later edited into a different six minute work of the same name (released in 1980).
