Just have to admit it at times – Patrick Lichty

Ritornello
Ritornello (2003, 700k, 25 sec.)

There are just points in which a person has to admit the panic moment.
The point in which the suspersonic tidal wave is headed at you as you
stand on Rockaway,
and you have simultaneous feelings of doubt or denial.
The moment comes, looping in on itself until the moment of action arrives.
Time to hang ten.

Patrick Lichty.

Rather lovely work from Henry Gwiazda.
Claudia and Paul , in particular, is a shivers down the spine affair for me.
I’d been vaguely aware of Gwiazda before but never really explored his work
– I will definitely be looking carefully in future.
