notes in origin

“Shot in northern Alberta, where the artist grew up, the film consists of ten long-take shots of various lengths divided by black leader bearing a number for each successive shot… ‘notes in origin’ realizes the subtle lyricism that appears in the last image of its predecessor. Here Epp intimates a mysteriously shared and personal complicity of artist and viewer without, however, abandoning that purity and extraordinary elegance that mark Epp as one of the most accomplished of film artist.” – Bart Testa, Art Gallery of Ontario catalogue What I like in film is precision, slightness, economy of means, delight, inference and a kind of motion that can be followed but not tagged and makes seeing intelligent.
