Summer Medley

Overview

Summer Medley uses realistic footage to create an organic pattern of bold colors, horizontal movements, and simplified forms. Inspired by Steve Reich's tape loops, the film is constructed from four out-of-sync film loops that combine and recombine to form variations of changing images. An 8mm collection of footage from a summer vacation in positive and negative color, is layered with a hi-contrast pairs of legs dancing to the music of Hamza El Din "Song With Tar," creating a puzzle where shapes add, subtract, and multiply in a medley of color-motion-form in time.
