FIGURES IN THE LANDSCAPE

Directed by Thomas Comerford

2002 / 12min

“FIGURES IN THE LANDSCAPE…refers to older media, in that it was shot with a pinhole camera, a form of camera obscura. The images show a sprawling Chicago suburb, while texts refer to earlier inhabitants – the Indians. The tentative, not completely sharp pinhole image combines with text to suggest that the landscapes shown, like all the landscapes we create, are themselves impermanent.” – Fred Camper
