Peach Landscape

1973 · 5 min

A slow, quiet study of texture and light that asks you to watch closely as ordinary surfaces turn strange.

Overview
Illusions of surface, abstract to pictorial. Initially the grain of the film emulsion, complete with scratches, variations in framing – the meat of film – are the most apparent elements of all. The object shown is revealed to be a bowl of canned peaches. But even with identification, the visual illusions return – e. g., a concave surface becomes convex, the flat bottom of the bowl becomes an egg.
