Fields Of Grain

Synopsis

Fields of Grain, 1984 – ongoing project/ sound:.For twenty years I have collected 16mm footage from travels around the US: a ride down the Cuyahoga River, shots of Civil War battlefields, walks through fields of growing flowers, grain and fruit, water systems, rail systems, malls and parades, and kudzu growth in Mississippi. This project mixes traditions of landscape cinema with improvisational real-time editing and digital to analog “glitches” to make transparent an archiving and representation process, my own road movie archive.
