Acting credits
Behind the camera
An abstract dance film that meditates on the nature of the moon, eggs, circular saws, and love. All make sense as a kind of revolving surrealist wheel of fortune.
Moon
1988
Based on a story of a man who goes through a series of frustrations, who seeks help, but then finds escape. The film images follow the story through a series of meditations on the most incidental and marginal visual events. It is the details that surround the action which constitute the main focus.
Our Man
1987
A meditation on the interwoven nature of music, perception and experience. Images are built from superimposing exposures in the camera to form a kind of dream narrative which has its own logic.
Overture
1986
A non-verbal dialogue between one woman and herself. The screen is split with the woman in black on one side and herself in white on the other. The film dwells on the threshold of self-awareness and deals with the frustrations found in the inherent limits of self-awareness.
Beside Herself
1987
An unedited film built up from layers of superimposed images. The lit match is the light source and the image; its duration also structures time.
Match
1974
