Sliced Light

1977 15min

Buena Vista Park in San Francisco like you've never seen it. "Playing" my 16mm Beaulieu camera like a musical instrument with extremely rapid zooming and inverted images. The virtuoso musician Peter Plonsky plays his Chromatic Khaen, an ancient Laotian instrument. He had never seen the film. One fourteen minute take, responding directly to the images in the studio.
