Overview

Filmed in Rome in the 1980s, the work draws on Borromini’s Baroque architecture and Il Sassetta’s St. Martin and the Beggar. Beavers contrasts winter’s subdued light with the verdant growth of spring, constructing a precise montage in which image and sound form a poetic dialogue.

Part of the My Hand Outstretched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure

My Hand Outstretched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure is a film cycle by Robert Beavers, developed between 1968 and 2002. Rather than a single compiled film, it consists of individual works that Beavers continually re-edited and re-contextualized, shaping them into a larger cycle presented under this title. The phrase itself may sound like a poetic riddle, yet its meaning becomes clear in the experience of seeing and hearing the films. While sometimes treated as one work in retrospectives and museum programs, My Hand Outstretched… is best understood as a collection of interconnected films, not a singular release.
