Tunnel
2008 4min
Commissioned for an event commemorating the ongoing construction of a 21-mile tunnel through the Swiss Alps, Robert Frank’s experimental short is as terse and unflinching as a Dziga Vertov newsreel, superimposing images of his wife, the artist June Leaf, at work and at play with the emotionless felling of a farm cow. — Museum of Modern Art
