Incantation (1972)

Using rapidly edited superimposed images of plants trees water the sun and the moon Incantation weaves a dynamic tapestry of organic forms and textures combining its images with a fierce rhythmic intensity so as to suggest a kind of natural force The film was shot entirely in the camera in 8mm according to a prearranged musiclike score and then blown up to 16mm using a homemade optical printer The accompanying sound track a chant taken from Islamic liturgy is breathbased and brings the film into the form of a prayer Written by revoir
