New York: Oxford University Press, 1979,|cp. 325-326, 328 520 Collage animation of Victorian engravings. The foreground constantly changes against more slowly changing backgrounds. The film begins with a hand dropping an egg, with the Victorian landscape changing to a moonscape. Figures float across the backgrounds, some tinted either red, blue, or green. The quick succession of cut-out images creates a Surrealist effect. However, the reverie (which has a "Baroque" music track) is occasionally broken by an obnoxious buzzing sound. 520 In his collage animations, such as this one, Jordan uses cutouts and backgrounds from Victorian steel engravings. This film is a color collage of roccoco imagery juxtaposed with symbols of the space age. Jordan says, "Our lady is a kind of guide to the bardo ... the world that a conscious entity passes into after death and before rebirth." 541 0 PFA 1604-01-2651.
