Break-Through

Break-Through

Vito Acconci 
1970, 3 min, color, silent, Super 8mm film on video

Description

Super-8 camera held out before him as shield and surrogate, Acconci pushes through a landscape of dense reeds and overgrowth. Break-Through records this search for a pause or clearing in what, for the viewer, amounts to an abstracted and scarcely differentiated visual field.
