Eaux d'artifice
Description
The Villa d'Este sculpture gardens frame the nocturnal exploits of a Baroquely-dressed masked figure darting about a waterworks of gushing fountains in "a Hide and Seek in a night-time labyrinth." Jets of water form a mesmerizing erotic fantasy paying homage to abstract visual music, early silent cinema, and Sergei Eisenstein's spectacular "cream-separator" sequence in Old and New. 16mm 1.37:1 black & white tinted color sound; with Carmilla Salvatorelli; music "Winter" movement of The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi.
