"Swish," made with moving subject and open shutter of a moving camera, deals with the physical properties of the film medium and pushing those distinctive features to their limit. It is an attempt to get inside of motion. The subject, a female body at close range, provides an intimacy and eroticism, and highlights the subjectivity of being close.
"Swish", is a silent investigation of the medium's relationship to motion, offering occasional,swishing glimpses of young Sousa as she dances with her moving camera,her face close to the open shutter. -"Whose Avant-Garde," Tess Takahashi
