About

"Higgins' movie is a five-foot loop showing a closeup of a man (Higgins himself) chewing some imaginary object... started at 8 p. m. and at 1 a. m., when I left, it was still running... INVOCATION is Higgins' Satie movie... the purest attempt to clear art from any or all historical, esthetic, thematic, ornamental claptrap to regain the lost-eye consciousness." –Jonas Mekas
