New York Hot Springs

New York Hot Springs

Synopsis

"New York Hot Springs (1984) was made with the steam coming out of manholes, a typical scene in the winter on the streets of New York, which reminded him of the Japanese hot springs in volcanic mountains. Consisting of shots of various steams at 10 locations in the city, the film is edited with each shot (5 seconds) in successive order and is rotated 10 times. A kind of Structural Film you might say. Since the form of the steam changes every moment, you are looking at new steam even at the same location." – Takahiko Iimura
