How to show the weight and space of sculptural form on film? How to describe in moving images what is fundamentally still? It could be said that sculpture is described by the space around it, by the experience of perambulation or touch.

The sense of material, surface and environment that is so immediate during a first-hand encounter with a sculptural form becomes framed through the lens of the filmmaker, a document caught in another time and space. In the tension between these two states, avant-garde filmmakers and artists have wrought their singular and experimental approaches to filming form.
