A window, a building, a rhythm—Jim O'Rourke turns architecture into pure hypnosis.
Presented virtually at ISSUE Project Room Artist Fund Benefit Oct. 2020.
Direction
O'Rourke's patient gaze finds music in architectural stasis.
Sound
The blinking *is* the score. Pure synesthetic filmmaking.
Director
Jim O'Rourke
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
O'Rourke, primarily known as experimental musician and Sonic Youth producer, treats the building as an instrument—each light flicker becomes a note in an uncomposed symphony.
Created for ISSUE Project Room's pandemic-era virtual benefit, the film unintentionally captures 2020's collective experience of isolation and staring at the same damn view for months.
