AXIS

1975 · 3 min

A brief, hypnotic experiment that treats the camera as a physical tool, asking you to watch landscape become texture rather than story.

Overview
“I was thinking of the camera as a kind of archeological tool that I could use to dig into or slice through the landscape —one among many studies toward using the camera in a highly physical way.”
