Abbott Meader
Gallery
(16mm, Silent, 1968, 2:35 minutes)
This short, silent film, a gallery of shots put together like a jazz improv, uses
many devices to affect the image that comes from the camera. I play. I play with
superimpositions, with drawing and scratching on the film, and layering over the
camera images with texture and color. The result is a rather rhythmic, physical,
playful event intended simply to happen as you watch it. The actual imagery of
objects in a museum gallery, seen frequently throughout, was footage shot in
the Colby College Museum of art in the 1960s.
