Easyout
Pat O’Neill / United States / 1971 / 10 min.
synopsis
With the care of a surgeon, Pat O’Neill – the master of optical copying – evokes flashes of memory from the collective mind of civilization. Winking Buddhas, a cloned politician with a robotic voice and humans as ants represent the surreal echoes of humanity, which dissolve into an aggressively stroboscopic storm of the subconscious.
“There are certain characteristics in my work. One is a concern with perceptual ambiguity, with subjects whose presence has more than one explanation.”P. O'Neill
