Terrace of Unintelligibility
Phill Niblock, 1985, US, video, 20'
Filmed by composer and multimedia artist Phill Niblock in his New York City loft in 1985, we follow a slow camera closing in on the mouth, hands, and the bridge of the cello of the late composer, cellist and singer Arthur Russell. We are witnessing this quiet and overwhelming music at the precise moment it enters the world.
