"THE WEST VILLAGE MEAT MARKET is an autodidactic debut film documenting a New York neighborhood, a meat market, which combines documentary and metaphorical overtones, as well as exploring certain aspects of the medium of film: in hand camerawork, motionless to moving objects or minimal movements, black and white material to color, flatness to depth effect.These formal contrasts emphasize textures and spatial conditions that are of particular importance for the area of ​​the meat market.

London is cut up and manipulated in this highly structured, emotionally compelling piece about the UK's capital city and its capacity to alienate and atomise people.

The window serves as a metaphor for looking and watching. The cinematic illusion is redoubled by the uncertainty of the iconic referent. It is a query on the status of the visible.

The focus of attention in one of the earliest films by a highly prolific documentary director Edmundas Zubavicius is a veterinary clinic in Kaunas; the observation of its daily routine reveals the longing for human sympathy as if yearning for a prayer.

They invite to contemplate the relationship between nature and man.

“Breaking in. Patrice Kirchhofer’s Anorexie 4 continues on the path of the narrated narrative (a short story by Chandler) and Décembre 79 on the path of photography. At the end of these two journeys, the film becomes the subject and the trace of the same act of breaking in. In Anorexie 4 the voice shapes the images (the play of chess and of light) and in Décembre 79, shot in the same abandoned mining region, the photos shape the film: chemical deposits, fossils instantaneously striped and imprinted by signs of life and haunted by their ghostly presence. A space of dreary grey, of desolation, which is in a never-ending process of dying because the place, even before being filmed, already went through a vampire-like depletion. In accepting the invitation of these tracking shots of abandoned factories, the spectator is summoned to riverbanks similar to those of Dreyer’s Vampyr and Murnau’s Nosferatu.” Charles TESSON. Festival de Digne. Cahiers du Cinéma n° 314 – Juillet–Août 1980.

Spiral 5 is in the inaugural collection of Video Art at MOMA [Museum of Modern Art] in New York. It was the fifth in a series of performances of a piece called Spiral. Most of the Spirals were performed live in front of audiences by people controlling digital computers and playing on the analog image processor (IP), with musicians jamming along. The GRASS digital system combined with the IP formed the digital visual instrument used in the performance. Spiral 5 was performed in front of a studio audience and the music was re-recorded later. It is an abstract, mathematical animation based on the linear spiral, in something you might call the visual music tradition.
