The Misty Suite2009

In The Misty Suite Richards links three very different films by their similar zoom speeds: a shot of a young Brooke Shields in Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), falling asleep in class; a girl drawing an eye in an instructional video; and nebulous star clusters in outer space. ‘Bear down, breathe’, intones a voice (taken from a recording of an experimental poetry recital). -Paul Teasdale, Frieze
