Hollis Frampton: Hollis Frampton: Surface Tension / Carrots and Peas / Lemon / Prince Ruperts Drops / Artificial Light / Less (1968 / 1969 / 1969 / 1969 / 1969 / 1973) · 10m / 6m / 7m / 7m / 25m / 1m · 16mm
This group of films contains some of Frampton’s most notable standalone works. Surface Tension was his “break-out” film. Carrots and Peas is an ironic take on a slide-lecture. Lemon, one of Frampton’s most monumental yet simplest works, shows a lemon in a fixed position as lighting changes. Less is another cheeky minimalist film, consisting of a 24-frame (one second) loop of the incremental blacking out of a nude portrait by photographer Les Krim.
