Field Trip: Anthony McCall: solid light
Anthony McCall Between You and I from creativetimenewyork
The spectator is now inside the film, no longer conceived as a circumscribed form within a predefined space but as the very field within which the experience takes shape.
...the point is not to produce the mechanical phenomenon of the shutter’s action but to dramatize it; it is not about the phenomenological reduction of the cinematic projection, but its reconstruction.
-- Philipe-Alain Michaud, "Line Light: The Geometric Cinema of Anthony McCall" October 137
