study of gordon matta clark






he used black and white video which creates 60's movie atmosphere.
(there were made in 70's)

the first one called Samuel Beckett, he spotlighted the mouth of the actor
which creates scary mood and the viewer's eye tend to go to the mouth because there are nowhere for their eyes to go.
the mouth simply keep talking.

the second one which is dancing tree, but the tree dose not dance, the human dancer dance surround the tree. his way of use the space on the tree and techno music creates mysterious atmosphere. it's because in the beginning of the video, the sound is calm and i felt even a little bit scary then slowly the sound becomes techno and instrumental. but suddenly stops and suddenly starts. it could be sad start or starting with some drum sound.
the complex music creates strenge atomosphere into the video.
