Throughout his long career, Ernie Gehr has explored cinema’s unique potential to reveal the limits and possibilities of visual perception and the illusionary, subjective experience of time. In these recent digital video works Gehr offers profoundly cinematic experiences of place, radically dividing and slowing down the images of city streets and sites to unfold within a single instant the dazzling array of movements and passages too marvelous and manifold for the human eye alone to perceive.
