Incantation (1972)

Usando imagens rapidamente editadas de plantas, árvores, água, sol e lua, Incantation tece uma tapeçaria dinâmica de formas e texturas orgânicas, combinando suas imagens com uma intensidade rítmica feroz, de modo a sugerir um tipo de força natural.

Using rapidly edited, superimposed images of plants, trees, water, the sun and the moon, Incantation weaves a dynamic tapestry of organic forms and textures, combining its images with a fierce rhythmic intensity so as to suggest a kind of natural force. The film was shot entirely in the camera, in 8mm, according to a pre-arranged, music-like score, and then blown up to 16mm using a home-made optical printer. The accompanying sound track, a chant taken from Islamic liturgy, is breath-based and brings the film into the form of a prayer. Written by re:voir
