The pines of my youth
Have lost their lower limbs
And stand now like arrows
Pointing
At a setting moon.

Visiting my familial home, I noticed that the pines had become absurdly tall shafts, topped by Christmas tree like arrow heads... I made this film as my sleep was interrupted by the light of the moon and the dark of the dawn. They are like 4am documents of restless nostalgia and confusion...

    I wish my friend Sean, if he wasn't so busy, would get a Vimeo account. A lot of his VJ stuff is similar to this. Much of it shot from his travels taken from trains, buses, cars, carts.

    What's the show that's coming up in January? Will it be video related?
  • Alex Itin plus 2 years ago
    actually it's all painting and drawing. Though the same guy who is making hte art show got my Orson Whales vid shown at the film center there.

    I haven't figured a way to make the painting and the video show together but, they all bite off the neck of each other. futureofthebook.org/itinplace/

    Laurie Anderson once said that walking is falling. Every time you take a step, you are falling and then catching yourself from falling and this is how you move forward....by catching yourself from falling.

    love that.

    Yeah
    and I think she may have stole that from someone else... but it's a hell of an image... rather a description of the truth

    A visual treat. Sitting here thinking about your film, not knowing what to say but wanting to say something -- and then a memory starts to surface ... the last scene in Carol Reed's The Third Man (with Joseph Cotton and Orson Welles) -- the trees at the cemetery in Vienna are just like the ones in your film. Congratulations on a great piece of work!

    I'll have to look at that again... a fave and have it on DVD.

    always a pleasure to watch your vids. This one synchs beautifully, and matches the estrangement that goes along with any encounter with your youth.

    I think the pulse in the music works well with these images.
