  • Bouquets 1-10

    “Bouquets 1-10” consists of ten one-minute films covering a variety of subjects. The procedure entails using the film strip as a canvas with the freedom to film frames on any part of the strip in any order, running the film through the camera as many times as needed. Each bouquet of flowers is also a bouquet of frames, mingling the plants to be found in a given place with activities that happen to be there at the time. Bouquet 1: The Mount Ventoux, from top to bottom over a distance of twenty miles: yellow poppies and mountain flowers mix with…

  • Cat of the Worm’s Green Realm, The

    Flares of colour break into streams of light, leaves, wood grain and prism-etched vegetation. A moon lifts out of this dark weave to be replaced by autumn leaves against a grainy sky, a fiery sky. The moon, again, caught in clouds. The movements, moonlit, of a cat. Vegetation and toned flares (a kind of “ghost light” midst microscopic photography of leaves and twigs). A gray cat licks itself, its nametag reflected in lens refractions midst microscopic visions of ice and snow, autumn leaves, green leaves, a distant snow-laden green scene. A black cat sits quickly down on a green lawn.…

  • Pomegranate Tree

    “Pomegranate Tree” is an experimental film inspired by the lush and ceremonial paintings of the Qajar dynasty from Persia and Eli Langer’s violent, aggressive sketches.
