Synopsis

This film expands this approach to composition by adding an abstract layer of matter to the more representational experiments. The film has two parts. It focuses on the medium’s prime elements (light and motion) and documents several optical interferences with light sources (the sun, lamps, bulbs or candle-flames), creating an abstract collage built out of concrete elements. It’s a line of work that was further developed in Palolo’s later films and is also present in Lights (1972–6). The second half replaces the mundane light sources by magazine images of iconic figures such as Marilyn Monroe or Elizabeth Taylor portrayed by Andy Warhol. These quotes connect the film with a Pop art practice close to Derek Boshier’s Link (1970).
