Sunset Strip (Kayla Parker, UK, 1996)
Runtime: 3 min
Synopsis:
12 frame, half second days. A year of sunsets. Brakhage-style interventions directly onto film stock in this record of light and cloud. Time-lapse goes transcendent with a little help from nail varnish, petals and stockings. A day-by-day diary of a whole year’s sunsets. The result is a dazzling expression of the visual music revealed by 365 setting suns.
