Institution Name:

Abstract:

Documentary-style piece featuring associates of artist Emmett Williams, speaking about their personal recollections of him. Speakers are shown in extreme close-up. Some of the speakers' stories are left unfinished. Digital effects are used with some of the speakers. Shots of a hotel worker delivering food occasionally are placed between the speakers, with subtitles showing what time the room service was delivered. Shot during the International Seminar on the Arts, Warsaw, Poland, May 23-30, 1987. A self-portrait drawing by Emmett Williams is shown at the beginning and the end of work. Williams is shown after the final speaker, though he does not speak himself. Approximately 23 minutes in length.
