Short film

Visions
1992 · 4 min
A hypnotic, jittery experiment that freezes motion into frames, leaving you suspended between stillness and movement, tense and strangely exhilarated.

- Overview
- A film-within-a-film exploring the body in motion, frame by frame. Built with four frames within one, half of the screen in motion, the other still, this film makes the viewer feel that they are watching a "moving picture." The sensation one gets is of tension...expectation...shock. It freezes one in a frame. The glorious, trenchant music of R. Murray Schafer in the background further adds to the intense "high" of the film.
