VIEWERS OF OPTICS
(1987, 11:30’, SD video, stereo)
In the words of poet
JAMES MINNIS:
In VIEWERS OF OPTICS one peers through the binoculars of a statue upon the terrain of memory. A first glance reveals an area of disaster... However, pulling to a closer focus, the catastrophe seems to concern not the world at large but rather that of a relationship between a man and a woman. This view, too, is a distortion of distance. Approaching the event, it gradually becomes apparent that there is only one individual involved; that the male and female are aspects of a single psyche.
