Rocked Circle - Fear
1971
"A situation was created which allowed registration of an exterior stimulus directly through facial expression. As I stood in a 5’ diameter circle, rocks were thrown at me. The circle demarcated the line of fire. A video camera was focused on my face. The face was captive, it’s expression a direct result of the apprehension of hazard. Here, stimulus is not abstracted from it’s source. fear is the emotion which produced a final series of expressions on the face."
One half hour video tape with Super 8 film loop.
