Clay I Love You II

About This Movie

So, "Clay I Love You II" from 1968 is an intriguing piece, transferred from Super 8 mm film, and runs just over five minutes. It has this raw, almost avant-garde vibe due to its silent format, which really lets the color and texture of the clay work shine through. The pacing is distinctive, almost meditative, inviting you to linger on each frame. The themes of creativity and the tactile nature of clay as an artistic medium are palpable, making it feel more like an experiment in form than a traditional narrative. It's part of a limited edition run, so finding one could be a bit of a hunt. The atmosphere is unique, and it’s definitely something you won’t stumble upon every day.

This film has a unique history as a Super 8 mm transfer, making it a rare find for collectors. With only seven pieces in the edition plus a couple of artist proofs, it’s not something you'll come across often. The silent format sets it apart, as most films from this era are sound-driven. Collectors often appreciate its artistic expression and the tactile quality of its visuals, reflecting a particular moment in experimental filmmaking.
