Zen-scape #1 (revised) --E. San Juan, Jr.

The first in a series of experiments in capturing image-signs of external landscapes and built interiors, thereby also creating an anti-spectacle impulse displacing space/global capitalism with aleatory images and quasi-accidental happenings. Debord's anti-film philosophy and Pasolini's "poetics of the cinema" are guides to this project.
As all cinema viewers know, the sense of time passing depends on the play of light; light determines also spatial borders and contours, hence everything depends on what happens to vision, its contingency on light/darkness dialectic, chiaroscuro, jumpcuts, etc.
