Still Point
Barbara Hammer
1989, 9:14 min, color, sound, 16 mm film on HD video

Still Point whirls around a point of centeredness as four screens of home and homelessness, travel and weather, architecture and sports signify the constant movement and haste of late twentieth century life.

Robert Buck

It's just Mom in the kitchen, serving up a hot dish of cool leftovers."

Peggy Ahwesh
