DERVISH MACHINE

by Bradley EROS & Jeanne LIOTTA
1992 / 16mm / color-b&w / sound / 1S / 10' 00

Handcrafted meditations on being and movement, inspired by Gysin's Dream Machine, Sufi mysticism and pre-cinema. The knowledge of the fragility of existence reflects the tenacity of the material. The film itself becomes the place where impermanence is experienced and the moving image revealed.

Skip & loop sources by Rimsky-Korsakoff, Gounod, Wagner, Burroughs & Gysin, The Master Musicians of Joujouka and Sufi music & poetry.
