Those who have delighted in British filmmaker Peter Greenaway's penchant for creating puzzles out of the absurd-and cataloging the oddest of things-will recognize the origins of his feature films in this selection of his earliest short work. Windows (1975, 4 mins): Peter Greenaway's report on defenestration is a thorough catalog of the people of a small English country parish who have left a room by its window. Statistically complete, but narratively incomplete; the viewer is obliged to fill in with imagination what the numbers leave out. H Is for House (1978, 9 mins): Greenaway turns his cataloging interests to rhymes that begin with "H"-as does "humor," which abounds in this dadaist romp. A Walk Through H (1978, 42 mins): The viewer is taken on a journey through the land of H guided by a recently deceased narrator. It is no ordinary voyage, but rather a minute exploration of a collection of maps and drawings, varying in scale and detail, effectiveness and authenticity. The reliability of images as a record of a place, the possibility of biography, and by extension, the entire project of representation are perhaps the real targets of exploration in this surrealist puzzle, alternately titled, "The Reincarnation of an Ornithologist."
