Part II"Size Matters" tries to size-up (quite literally) some of the extra-large video epics from the past twenty-five years, works notable for their sweep, ambition, and driving vision. In Part II, from the quirky glimpse of heaven and earth storming through George Kuchar's Weather Diary 1 to Michael Klier's thoroughly detached masterwork of surveillance Der Riese; from the future combustion of city life expressed in Antero Alli's The Drivetime to the quietude of the Portuguese coast in Jon Jost's Nas Correntes de Luz da Ria Formosa, then on to the sheer audacity of Frank & Koen Theys's Die Walkure, you'll luxuriate in large.-Steve Seid 2000
