James Nares
Pendulum (1976)
Super 8 to 16mm, Digibeta tape
17:15 minutes
Edition of 6
Pendulum (1976) is a hauntingly lyrical example of James Nares’s “No Wave” film. Using a Super 8 camera, Nares filmed this site-specific work of a suspended, swinging, metal sphere, and ultimately transformed this quiet New York City alley into a scene pulsating with anxious energy. Pendulum was recently on view at the Museo Nacional Centro De Arte Reina Sofia, and at the Kunsthalle Berlin, where it met with great praise and success.
