Discrete images are modelled into a filmic form which grows out of visual kinetic linkages rather than linguistic modes, musical notions, mathematical constructs, or anecdotal concerns. Elimination of narrative sequences is suggestive of the concept of simultaneity, which is associated with painting and explored by the poetry of William Carlos Williams. The work is divided into three sections separated by pale blue passages. The title makes reference to Newton’s corpuscular theory of light. A continuing work composed from several thousand feet of film exposed since 1973 in a variety of geographical sites. – J.C.L.
