Playing with both a structural principle of the cinematic medium (the synchronization of sound and image) and one of its core dimensions (to function as a machine for the reproduction of ghosts) with boundless gusto, the greatest polymath of the 1970s New York avant-garde devotes this first part of his Hapax Legomena cycle to nostalgia. He sets it, though, in brackets and openly wonders: can we feel nostalgia for the present? Via a sequence of 13 shots, each of which sees a photograph Hollis took of the New York arts scene ritually burned on a stove while the narrator has already moved on to describing the next still, this classicist poet, photographer, sculptor, critic, and filmmaker who set cinema on a new course explores the limits of representation, rescinding and resurrecting the capacity of the image to speak of reality.源自：
