This video triptych explores the intersection of Light and Being at crux points of solar & terrestrial:cosmic change.

solstice I :
The raw material for solstice I & II are two time-lapse tapes shot using the time-lapse feature of a JVC VHS camcorder. Both sequences were shot out of the window of a small cabin in Fludir, Iceland on the Winter Solstice Day, one in 1991, and one in 1992. The ten-minute segment runs from before sunrise until after sunset -- following the progress of the entire three-hour Arctic day. The raw material was edited onto a master SVHS tape with the soundtrack and intercut with segments of Light gathered at other times and in other places of Iceland.
