‘blank colour frequencies space out optically feed-fuse black and white images of one love-making gesture which is seen simultaneously from both sides of its ‘space’ and both ‘ends’ of its time/dedicated to frances sharits’-P.S.
‘Thanks for the strip-it is that/cut to the bone of some matter that does really concern me: how a man and woman meet nakedly head on among the colours…lovely: I can hardly wait to see the entirety of that vision…’ – Stan Brakhage.
‘Reminds me very much of the back light (‘Go Ko’) which illuminates the spirit of Buddha yet no images of Buddha appear, rather several naked bodies. I have never imagined that Go Ko could really occur and illuminate as it does in this film.’- Takahiko Iimura.
