Analytical Studies II: Unframed Lines
Paul Sharits, 1976, US, 25'
“Most of my films set up an experiential field wherein the film is not constantly imposing itself on you yet has enough consistency that you can ‘move through’ yourself rather than just follow the development of the film. All the films have a little bit to do with meditation. These locational works become the ultimate field for that kind of contemplative reflection. It becomes like watching fireflies or water flowing over a dam – something that’s moving. A fire or a candle flame – it’s shifting – but it doesn’t change its form dramatically. “ (Paul Sharits in an interview with Linda Cathcart)
