Shutter Interface
(1975, 32’50, four-projector installation, colour)

In the hypnotic work Shutter Interface – recently restored by Greene Naftali and Anthology Film Archives to its long-unseen, four-screen version – a quartet of 16 mm projectors stand side by side, figure-like, on imposing pedestals facing a long wall. Four looped films of varying lengths are un-spooled and re-spooled in jewel-like swathes of colour interspersed with single black frames.
