“If there’s a film of mine that makes the case for multiple viewings, it’s (Reel #2). This has to be seen several times to be seen at all. The transition from filmmaking back into painting is here in the ‘props’ — 2″ clear tape strips of gorgeous debris (thread, film & petals) which later joined and grew into wall hangings, then eventually paintings. This is the level of metrics, the visual resonance I was always chasing.” (J.B.)

Frenetic and impressionistic, this nocturnal foray through San Francisco's streets (heightened by a stop at a nightclub) delivers a thrill-hit of ebullient adrenaline. The rush of excitement, of anonymity, of adventure, of being alive, of potentially meeting someone new is palpable. Somewhere in the middle of this burst of gorgeous black-and-white, the neon takes on a life of its own, squiggling into infinity. "This is about living fast and dying peacefully," the filmmaker said at the time, which adds another layer of poignancy. - Michael Fox

In this short animation a single room is the setting for a lyrical dance through time about family roots. The objects in the room swirl, rearrange and change themselves to reflect the passing seasons, years and generations. As Victorian Christmas fantasies give way to computer-age realities, the procession of objects reaffirms the values that endure the vagaries of fashion and the ravages of time.
