LUX ONLINE EXHIBITION. April/May. Guy Sherwin's Railings (1977)
for vertical format projection (projector on its side). To mark the launch of a new LUX book/DVD 'Guy Sherwin: Optical Sound Films' we present one of the featured films, Railings
'I wanted to hear what railings sound like - this time not by running a stick along them - but by filming them from various angles and perspectives, and then listening to them pass over the projector's sound-reproducing head. Having access to the London Film-Makers' Co-op printer meant that I could control the film as it ran through the printer, sometimes freezing the railings - I was curious what sound a still image would make. The projector lies on its side projecting images (and their accompanying sounds) upright onto the screen' Guy Sherwin
