phil solomon: director focus

More of the same of whatever this is. I like it. Thinking about the process and how you could make an inferior facsimile of this in minutes with digital filters/FX nowadays is an interesting way of looking at it. We almost — literally — cannot appreciate the art, so it takes some work on the viewer’s part to do just that, and I believe that’s fine, even if it's an impossible/wrongheaded conclusion especially when it comes to artist intent.

Clepsydra is an ancient Greek water clock (literally, “to steal water”). This film envisions the strip of celluloid going vertically through a projector as a sprocketed waterfall (random events measured in discreet units of time), through which the silent dreams of a young girl can barely be heard under the din of an irresistible torrent, an irreversible torment. It was released on June 19, 1992.
