Paper Landscape #2

About This Movie

So, 'Paper Landscape #2' is quite an interesting piece, really. It feels like you’re stepping into a time capsule, blending Sherwin’s original 1975 performance with this fresh digital take. The atmosphere is reflective, almost meditative, as you watch him interact with the landscape of Japan's rice fields. The pacing has this contemplative rhythm, almost like you're just wandering through the visuals. It’s distinct in how it juxtaposes the real and the recorded, with a raw, almost tactile quality that super 8mm brings. You can feel the history and evolution in the performance, which gives it a weight that resonates well beyond the screen.

This film is part of a unique lineage in Sherwin's work, presenting a thought-provoking evolution of his art from super 8mm to digital. Its scarcity makes it a notable piece for collectors, as few have had access to the newer material. The film's fusion of performance and landscape captures a distinct moment in Sherwin's artistic journey, appealing to those interested in the intersections of film, art, and personal narrative.
