Short film
Blind Spot
2003 · 13 min
A slow, hypnotic stare that turns a street encounter into a meditation on time and image, with long silences that ask you to wait and look closely.
- Directed by
- Gary Hill
- Overview
- Blind Spot constructs a space of living portraiture by “focusing time” on an exchange between the artist (the camera) and a man on the street in the small Algerian neighborhood of Belsunce in Marseille, France. As the camera zooms in slowly on its subject, the imagery is interrupted by longer and longer segments of black/silence, in essence slowing the scene down so that it almost reaches the photographic.
- How it feels
- Eerie, melancholic and tense. Slow-burning and demanding.
