Amass

About This Movie

So, 'Amass' is really something quite different, you know? It’s this experimental video installation that plays with our perception of movement and time. The whole setup is divided into four channels named after elements of architecture—Hill, Wall, Cliff, Roof. Each channel presents a dance work that hinges on a series of 24 movements, creating a kind of layered experience. The structuralist approach is intriguing; it’s not just about what you see, but how you interpret the flow of time through video. The pacing is unique, with a mix of real-time and edited sequences that get you thinking about the very nature of video art. It’s definitely a distinctive piece within the realm of video installations.

Finding 'Amass' on physical media, like VHS or early digital formats, can be quite the challenge. Its niche appeal and the experimental nature of the work make it less common among mainstream collections. Collectors who focus on video art installations or structuralist cinema might find it particularly interesting, though copies tend to be rare. The limited releases and unique presentation style contribute to its scarcity in the collector's market.
