description

DVD of two films by Bruce Conner : "Crossroads" and "Looking for Mushrooms." Music by Patrick Gleeson and Terry Riley. 52 minutes. Color and black-and-white. From the publisher's statement : "CROSSROADS : Edited from declassified footage, Conner has fashioned a film masterpiece illuminating the first underwater Atomic Bomb test at Bikini Atoll on July 25, 1946 as both fact and symbol of our age. The atomic detonation in the center of 90 Japanese and United States warships is seen as an event in itself, as theater, as sculpture, time, clouds, mist. LOOKING FOR MUSHROOMS : A dream of searching for magic mushrooms filmed in San Pedro Tenancingo, Mexico and San Francisco. Thousands of single-frame shots are combined with multiple exposures to create a dazzling array of semi-abstract images. An experimental tour-de-force edited in camera."
