a fiveminute film of the view west across the Soho street to a brick building Gehr sat there from one day from 1000 am to 400 or 500 pm and shot it with his Bolex camera one frame at a time It conveys the settled relief of being home as against the pace of the monochromatic working day seen in the three prior films It is closer to his earlier films in its abstraction of forms and play with timelapse and film speed In the beginning the forms are screamingly reddishorange and incomprehensible but as the afternoon progresses shadows slip across the surfaces and windows fire escapes and bricks become visible a world is revealed with the clarity of Vermeers famed Little Street 16578 Jason Rosenfeld
