A live composition of celluloid improvisation using multiple projectors
and dual-loop film masks of found footage. Silk worms, chromatic decay,
hand wrought surface erosion, and shifting fields of focal depth.

Shown August 19th, 2001 at the Chicago Underground Film Fest

SPELLS FOR ALL OUR TROUBLES (shorts)

"Harmon bends celluloid and projector to his whim once again in
this special film performance with masks, loops, and a silk worm's
primal dance.. "

Shot on an 8mm camera that uses 16mm size rolls and processed without
being split. A brief view into my life, an abstract autobiography of my
first years wandering the streets of Chicago.

YHVH is a tool for transcendental expansion. Non-denominational, non
specific (other than in name) to any religion, and free from figurative
icons.

Because the nature of the abstract imagery used in YHVH
tends toward an interpretive logic, much like a Rorschach's Test, the
imagery becomes personally interpretive. The mind attempts to force
some logic on the shifting lights and darks and thus gives us access to
the architecture of the subconscious. It is a window into the abstract.

This
version of YHVH is Binah, the soundtrack was created by Rob Mazurek.
There are 10 versions, each with its own soundtrack created by a
different composer.

A shifting miasma of white in a a darkened place. The inverse of reality explained as the cosmic oracle.
