Lapis
Dir/ Prod. James Whitney (USA 1963-66) 10mins
James Whitney (1921-1982), a filmmaker universally regarded as one of the great masters of Visual Music, created this seminal abstract film over 3 years through the use of early analogue computer equipment (prototype motion control camera) to overlay meticulously hand-painted dot pattern images on cel sheets from multiple angles. Influenced by Jungian psychology the work is based around the meditative-like inward and outward flow of images of the mandala with trance inducing kaleidoscopic patterns.
