Don’t miss 'Line Describing a Cone' (1973) a one-off installation at the Wellington Town Hall, presented in collaboration by the New Zealand Film Archive with The Adam Art Gallery exhibition Anthony McCall: Drawing With Light.
This large-scale work is famous in the history of avant-garde film for its reduction of the cinematic experience to its core ingredients.
For 30 minutes a beam of light from a 16mm film projector draws a perfect circle on a distant screen.
In the space between, a solid cone takes shape as light particles cling to a haze filled room. Transforming the viewer’s usual passive relation to the film medium, this work invites an active engagement with the cinematic experience.
