CHINESE SERIES

by Stan BRAKHAGE
2003 / 35mm / color / silent / 1S / 2' 20

On the negative, it seemed to have the essence of Chinese characters – "strokes" and blocks, etc. In motion, it seems almost like running though a humid bamboo forest (not that I've personally had much experience) – green and yellow stalks create these glowing shadows as they cut across the sunlight... symbols magically transformed to landscape through light and motion.
