Topography/Surface Writing Trailer (1983)
15 September 1983 37 mins
“Starting from the adage by Walter Benjamin ‘not to aestheticize politics, but rather to politicize aesthetics,’ the thrust of my explorations ask the question: What does it mean to be a socially aware person who chooses to be active as a film-artist in the age of Reagan and Star Wars. Topography Surface Writing is a film of bits and pieces. It is a film without a center. Like daily life we move between events, images, sounds, ideas which never really begin or end; yet in their constant parade, they become who we are and what we are; it is the surface upon which we traverse.” – J.S.
