/Grid/Lock/Wed/Lock - 1984
(Photogram) 		These sites are transformed by Nigrin's haunting cinematography into what he calls "light-scapes" -- it is difficult to determine whether the moon or the sun produces the grey tonalities of the films. These light-scapes are fluid, provisionally drawn by the camera's angular relation to figures who move while brandishing mirrors and glass that refract light into the camera. This refraction creates sensual and kinetic forms of light: concentric circles, pinpoints, shadow stripes. Nigrin says the reflected light is "designed to make people look and turn away at the same time. By shooting light into the lens, I shoot it back into the audience, creating flashes that blank out the spectator's retina. The spectator must then etch in this voided screen to re-establish continuity in the film." --- Irene Fizer
