Firefly
Firefly is one of the most talked-about movies released in 1980, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
John improvises a performance for the camera, spinning a bright, pinpoint light on a long cord, around himself in a variety of patterns, against a black background. A one-shot film, shot in one hour, at one frame per second. And with one-second time-exposures, the light streaks are multiplied and more complex by refracting in the lens. A Camera Dance, inspired by John's earlier film Amusement Park (1978/79).
