Quick editing of four sequences: a white tarpaulin standing out against the blue sky, in the wind, interlaced with a group of children and African dancers to the rhythm of drums, a procession of bridesmaids from an Asian wedding and me, doing my hair in close-up. These shots follow each other according to a repetition of a few images.
These are views of Boston and along the subway line outdoors on Commonwealth Avenue. It wasn’t really Boston anymore, because the center of Boston is very small, it was next to Boston University where I was studying for a master's degree in order to teach visual arts; It's called Allston, it was just before arriving at my house at 1160 of this avenue. I was filming with my silent Super 8 camera and I edited the film between two shifts - some of those early films with a guillotine splicer - in the cafeteria where I worked. There is no intervention on the film. These are images shot without preparation, according to encounters. The bleach tests from the first two films came later when I started experimenting with this product.
