Hall, 1983, |cp. 83-84 520 "Brakhage made this film by assembling mothwings, leaves, flowers, stems, grasses, and seeds, and placing them upon an adhesive strip of translucent Mylar editing tape. This base strip was then covered with another clear strip of Mylar, the materials being sandwiched between the two. The 16mm Mylar tape was perforated with sprocket holes. Clear leader was attached to the beginning of the film and the title was written in with black ink. Black leader attached to the end has a white "By Brakhage" scratched in. The Mylar tape creates a light greenish yellow backdrop for the rapidly moving materials. The projector light passes through the natural matter, disclosing their complex cellular structures, veins, and surface imperfections. Muddy earth colors predominate: sepia, blood-red, cranberry, blackberry, mulberry, dirt-brown, spring green, pine-green, and black. The placement of object varies; sometimes an entire length of a stem fills the left side of a series of frames; on other occasions, the stem might be broken up, mixed with crushed leaves or petals, and scattered throughout the frame. The speed in which the materials pass through the frame, and the size of the materials within the frame, varies from section to section. The sporadic passages of clear, pale, greenish- yellow-toned Mylar punctuates the film, which ends with the image of a single moth wing."--Russett and Brabner, Stan Brakhage: a guide to references and resources. 520 An experimental film which presents a fluttering light collage created by pasting moth wings and bits of plants between strips of mylar tape and running the tape through an optical printer. 541 0 |3PFA 1604-01-16827. |aD0447 |cdonation |d 7/31/2015 |5CBPF 541 0 |3PFA1604-01-11776. |aD0481 |cpurchase |d 2002/6/28 |5CBPF 541 0 |3PFA 1604-01-2788. |aD0481 |cpurchase |d 1976/05/27 |5CBPF 590 PFA 1604-01-11776. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last inspected: May 3, 2006 excellent condition. 590 PFA 1604-01-2788. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last inspected: 07 Oct 1998; pink; faded; scratches; Good condition: color red and faded (inspection in 1988 reported color fair); continuous scratches 590 PFA 1604-01-16827.|aEdge code: LPP 1985.|aCONDITION NOTE: Inspected 2015/08/05 cv; very good; very light wear. 655 7 Short films.|2lcgft 655 7 Experimental films.|2lcgft 655 7 Shorts.|2mim 655 7 Personal/independent works.|2mim 690 U.S. films. 700 1 Brakhage, Stan,|edirection. 935 GLADN50874412 941 0 PFA 1604-01-11776.
