Adjacent Yes, But Simultaneous? 1965

Directed by Owen Land

“Both sides are the same time (well,almost). It’s really simultaneous – practically. Except at the end a car burns and that is the same car we have been looking at on the other track,already a burnt out wreck around which kids dance.All this was taking place in and outside of my window when I lived uptown.” (George Landow, letter to Sheldon Renan, 1967) “Two random street events in New York City … in one of them a car was on fire.They’re shown in split screen, created by matte-ing.” (Owen Land, interviewed by Mark Webber, 2004)
