Taller

Inspired by A Casing Shelved by Michael Snow (1970), but without having ever seen it, Narcisa Hirsch made one of her most minimalist films. The camera films a still image, the wall of a room, while the artist's voice is heard speaking to a man and describing first what is seen and then what is not seen on other walls and in other windows. An eye, a window, pigeons, cypresses and other trees, a butterfly, a board with tools, a stove, a corridor, some photos, some withered flowers, a wax apple. The light changes, turns orange, and darkness envelops the words.
