Microscope is very pleased to present Anthony McCall’s groundbreaking piece “Light Describing a Cone” (1973) as part of its series of imageless film performances and other works in connection and collaboration with the current series “Imageless Films” at Anthology Film Archives.

Part of a series of works collectively referred to as solid light films, Anthony McCall’s Line Describing a Cone sees the fog-thickened beam of a 16mm projector transformed into a three-dimensional moving sculpture. As the beam is viewed from various vantage points within the space it transforms, shifts, and demands attentive observation.
