Conical Solid

This film is currently not available.   
A flat, triangular blade of projected light rotates around a fixed central axis. The film consists of eight sequences, each using a progressively slower rotational speed. As the blade rotates, the viewer mentally reconstructs the volume of an imaginary cone, although the complete solid cone never exists at any single instant. The work explores projected light, duration, perception, geometry, and the relationship between cinematic frames and three-dimensional space.
