Untitled is a 1969 by Paul Sharits, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a projector hanging above a flat screen on the floor. Below, a person lies on their back with a cord tied to their head, connected to the projector. The drawing is rough, with quick lines and a few scribbled notes about how the setup works. The notes explain how the projector’s cord is tied to the person’s head, suggesting a performance where their movement affects the image on the screen. The words sound like instructions for an experimental film idea. Next, check out Paul Sharits to see more of his unusual film and drawing work.
Paul Jeffrey Sharits was a visual artist, best known for his work in experimental, or avant-garde filmmaking, particularly what became known as the structural film movement, along with other artists such as Tony Conrad, Hollis Frampton, and Michael Snow.
