So in making the video for our final post, the focus was on this idea of hidden elements, on what isn’t immediately or readily discernable. The video consists of zoomed-in views of several of Isamu Noguchi’s sculptures. The scale, as well as the video overlay from one of Noguchi’s other sculptures, takes the sculptures out of context and allows you to appreciate the subtle differences in texture and the beauty and precision of the craft.

The Bow, 1970-1973
