Dore O - Program Two
KALDALON. 1970/1. 45 min.
BLONDE BARBAREI. 1972. 25 min.
FROZEN FLASHES. 1976. 30 min.

Shot on a trip to a spectacular glacial lagoon in Iceland, KALDALON broadly expands the the scenographic overtures of O.s first films while teasing out new subtexts of control and romance, bathing the viewer in gorgeous images that nonetheless fail to linger quite long enough. Its rumored that the film began as an attempt to recapture the Northern Lights on celluloid  but its also the first of O.s shorts (since JÜM-JÜM, anyway) to use wall-projection as its own technique of superimposition. The camera works here as birdlike spectator, fastidious indexer, topographical scanner and  with two discrete shots uneasily sloped together in the frames center  as a remarkable simulacra for human eyesight.

Shot in black and white but sepia-toned in post-production, BLONDE BARBAREI represents a partial test-run for what would become KASKARA, again engaging notions of spectatorship  albeit shrouded in far darker context this go-round. A camera tenuously considers the world outside its paneled apartment windows, foregrounding a womans silhouette (Dores?) in its reluctant and never-voyeuristic sweeps of the lens.

FROZEN FLASHES is O.s first film in total silence, again taxonomizing (you could almost say taxidermy-ing) disparate moments  here, a sequence of insinuating and, indeed, frozen poses, flash-photographed in erstwhile darkness  to probe the role of the static image in the barely-conscious. Finally, BEUYS  co-directed, again, with Nekes  is a ten-minute long, single-shot portrait of Joseph Beuys, begging the question of verisimilitude often left unaddressed (to say the least) in O.s other works.
