Lost Motion ( Janie Geiser) 1999

Dedicated to Lewis Klahr, this gorgeous animation tells the story of a man who s been abandoned by a woman and sets out on a romantic trip through the world to find her. Recchion s music initially adheres to this bright tone, building his trademark echoed loops in a soft, lush, almost tropical manner. Geiser s brilliant animation combines stopmotion with collage and creative use of light to enact the man s covering of temporal and physical distance in his quest: clocks, rules, maps, numbers and stamps pil
