Kelvin Helmholtz Clouds (2008, 5.6MB, 24 secs) It’s funny – even when Sondheim does picturesque there’s something very defiantly personal about his take on it. Here it’s the way that the sequence of images just occasionally looks as if it … Continue reading
Disappearing Body (2012, 44MB, 1:02min loop) Time marches on but some things don’t change and one of these is our unbounded admiration here for the work of Alan Sondheim. This is a perhaps a lollipop in comparison to some of … Continue reading

what remains (2007, 19.7MB, 1:26 min.) We need no excuse here to feature more of Alan Sondheim’s singular & remarkable oeuvre. This one caused a bit of a debate on Netbehaviour in 2007 -some baulked, fearing it to be images … Continue reading
Beauty (2007, 11.4MB, 1:04 min.) Romania (2007, 19MB, 2:01 min.) What to say, we’ve said it all, again & again, Sondheim’s movies are a unique & indispensable body of work. Specifically, anyone working in video on the net who doesn’t … Continue reading

Blanking (2011, 30MB, 1:07 min) for Carol Novack ‘I was working on this, shot with Foofwa d’Imobilite at Eyebeam, when I heard the news that Carol Novack had died. for many of us, this was unexpected and awful, as if … Continue reading
prisoners (2008, 25.4MB, 2:36 min) Nearest thing to a Picasso we yet have, in my view. Whatever history decides, there’s no denying one point of Sondheim/Picasso commonality – an almost compulsive productivity. I’d push it further -they both constantly transform … Continue reading
Native Dancer (2011, 92MB, 2:08 min) Genbush (2006, 17MB, 6:03 min) Two pieces from Alan Sondheim -one we originally posted in 2006 and one very recent. The new piece –Native Dancer – is a particularly affecting example of recent motion … Continue reading

involuntaries #4 (2009, 68.4MB 7:35 min) Love all Sondheim’s stuff but particularly the dance work. Here he is with Azure Carter & the jaw-dropping Foofwa d’Imobilité. Extremely odd & extremely wonderful. There’s lots more of these on Foofwa’s site , … Continue reading

duetavatargrange (2006, 28.9MB, 5:04 min.) Alan: That is absolutely stunning! Was it choreographed or improvised? Are you saying the source material was originally motion capture? Did you contribute to the choreography? Some of it puts me in mind of the … Continue reading
Röhrender Hirsch (2007, 7.3MB, 9 sec) Bracing & clever stuff from KH Jeron a.k.a Sim. By the magic of programming he transmutes the result of a Google image search ( presumably on Reindeer or some such) into this video. I … Continue reading
