Synopsis: For this piece, Mekas accumulated footage from several of his films–finished and unfinished–from the past few decades. Mekas lived in SoHo for a long time, and the towers naturally kept popping up: when he would film his friends on the street, hippie happenings on rooftops, family outings to the waterfront. As he puts it, “I had a feeling I was Hokusai glimpsing Mount Fuji.” The trick of the WTC was its long shadow, its inescapable, glowering loom; in Mekas’s video it starts to look like a castle in antique SoHo, the terminal point of every alleyway and thoroughfare.
