stan brakhage and lucinda childs

Mothlight is a really interesting work of art. What makes it interesting for me is the amount of time put into the process and that the structure of the piece never changes. I wondered if he changed the amount of light that was showing through the wings or if that was consistent as well. I think the video can stand alone as art but also makes a beautiful back drop for any kind of live performance as well. 

In lucinda Childs' video for her performance the dancers are doing the same choreography on stage as in the video. The dancers have to stick to a very strict structure in space which is difficult to begin with- but they also have no room for mistakes because the audience is comparing their live performance to the video right in front of them. The strict structure is what pulls me in to both of the pieces.
