GROUP IV: BEADED LIGHT (1970, 4 min, 16mm, silent) “In BEADED LIGHT, Gerson applies an ambiguous procedure to our perception of color and light.” –Bill Simon, ARTFORUM DISSOLVING (1970, 4 min, 16mm, silent) An ambiguous shiny grey substance at the bottom part of the frame counterpoints horizontals of clouds and fog as the camera moves up and down – shifting the perspective and therefore the space. A lone bird flies across on a perfect horizontal path. BEYOND (1970, 4 min, 16mm, silent) “The foreground discloses the red hair and the shoulders of a girl lying on a beach. [...] At the very end of the film, he raises the camera to a higher angle and the portions of the beach previously obscured by the girl’s form becomes visible and the two spaces – the girl and beach, foreground and background – are joined.” –Bill Simon, ARTFORUM
