About
Presents a succession of shots in which different parts of a still photograph are concealed by the artist's hands. The entire photograph is revealed piecemeal over the course of the film, but we are never able to reconstruct a composite of the entire image. A voice-over reads a series of texts, some of which seem to describe the artist's present experience (e.g., "I am thinking of a certain color. This color is very controlled") and some of which are more general statements about systems, such as, "Another idea which can be brought to bear in this context is not necessarily one which is within the predetermined framework. All exclusions are deliberate and final. This also applies to any choice which have been made regarding the general arrangement of items," or "It's an oversimplification to draw parallels within the single text between its various parts. Here, however, the ethics of proper thinking are waived in favor of that simplicity, both for the purpose of having the text prolong itself and for reasons not stated." -David James, "Six Films by Ken Feingold"
