Avant-garde filmmaker Carolee Schneemann's best known film, Fuses (1964) features the graphic lovemaking of a couple. The images are then painted, scratched and edited to depict the relationship between Schneemann and her husband James Tenney, a composer. In addition to making films, Schneemann is also a painter environmental and performance artist, and sculptor. Her first film, Carl Ruggle's Christmas Breakfast, came out in 1963. After Fuses, she made two more films before turning to work with plastic arts. — Sandra Brennan
Schneemann's self-shot erotic film remains a controversial classic. "The notorious masterpiece... a silent celebration in colour of heterosexual love making. The film unifies erotic energies within a domestic environment through cutting, superimposition and layering of abstract impressions scratched into the celluloid itself... Fuses succeeds perhaps more than any other film in objectifying the sexual streamings of the body's mind" -- The Guardian, London

Migration [For Jack Nelson] (1976)
filmmaker: Bill Viola
7 min, color, sound
Migration is an analysis of an image, a metaphorical exercise in perception and representation, illusion and reality, microcosm and macrocosm, nature and consciousness. Viola writes that this work is "a slow continuous journey through changes in scale, punctuated by the sounding of a gong. [The piece] concerns the nature of the detail of an image. In visual terms, this is known as 'acuity' and is related to the number of photoreceptors on a given surface area of the retina. In television terms, detail is referred to as `resolution,' and is a measure of the number of picture elements in a given horizontal or vertical direction of the video frame. Reality, unlike the image on the retina or on the television tube, is infinitely resolvable -- `resolution' and `acuity' are properties only of images. The piece evolves into an exploration of the optical properties of a drop of water, revealing in it an image of the individual and a suggestion of the transient nature of the world he possesses within."
