Unfolding as a series of thirty-second vignettes, this enigmatic essay in style is characterized by a deadpan theatricality, symbolist imagery, surrealist juxtapositions and repetition of key visual motifs. Indelible images, precisely composed -- a man teetering above a waterfall, a floating chair, a winking eye, a parrot against the New York skyline -- are accompanied by an "architectural" sound score that includes spoken "phonetic patterns" rather than words. Fusing his surprising visual logic and rhythms with unexpected temporal manipulations, Wilson creates a work of startling wit and poetry"--www.eai.org 538 U-matic PAL. 541 1 |e0750-01-6765 590 PFA 0750-01-6765. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last inspected: 2004/ 04/13; Major picture break up throughout; a stable image would appear intermittently; perhaps the tape needs to be cleaned or perhaps restored; audio level is very low; tape seems to play best in PAL mode but standard cannot be confirmed because of the constant picture break up CONDITION NOTE: Last checked: 2007/03/25 Same. 655 7 Personal/independent works.|2mim 655 7 Television.|2mim 690 0 German films. 700 1 Wilson, Robert,|d1941- 710 2 Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen. 935 GLADN17480055 956 20140224|bPFA migration/merge load 957 OCLC xref loaded 20140309 994 02|bCUY
