still life #1: cherries

A meditation piece. Close-up of cherries being pitted. Action seen again. Itself seen. “… (this film) utilizes the static camera, but the effect of the exact and consecutive repetitions of the same gesture – a cherry being pitted by a knife-wielding hand – proves here to be an astonishing performance and not just the constrained repeating of the same act.” – Michel Larouche, Parachute #28, 1982
