The camera as the operator's satellite describes a circular path around it, making visible the forces that hold it in orbit. Radius and tangent signal the direction of vision. At times a stroboscopic illusion is created and the movement seems to be inverted.
The filming of Ventana began as a test of the rewind and superimposition functions of the Single 8 camera: a crescendo of added layers. The space is a camera obscura in which the cameraman's movements convert a line of light into multidirectional rays. Toward the end there are up to eight unique...
