Hand Lead Fulcrum

1968, 2:38 min, b&w, silent, 16 mm film on HD video

As in Serra’s other Hand films, Hand Lead Fulcrum involves a task performed in real time and emphasizes the tension of containment within the film frame. In Hand Lead Fulcrum, Serra’s arm functions as a fulcrum while his hand holds a roll of lead at the top of the frame. The weight of the lead makes his hand shake and at one point he almost drops it. Serra moves his arm from the top of the frame very slowly and the film ends when it has reached the bottom of the frame.

Camera: Robert Fiore
