With Angus & Hetty MacLise, The Universal Mutant Repertoire Company, Ira Cohen, Tony Conrad, Beverly Grant.
Between the giant bottle of liquid mercury Tony Conrad found in a doorway on 42nd St. and the Mylar Chamber, we experienced a shared voyage conceived in three parts: The Opium Dream, Shaman and Heavenly Blue Mylar Pavilions - an alchemical journey born out of common consciousness, culminating in the Akashic bindu drop swirling in the sky's reflected azure. No minimalism here, but a maximalist adventure which demanded a special soundtrack.

Ira Cohen

For his first film, Cohen picked up a host of his friends and filmed them dressed in exotic garb while they were singing and playing, producing spectacular images of transformation and metamorphosis, where the human body becomes pure image in the process of appearance and disappearance. Cohen calls these Mylar images "astral projections" which show a profound level of conscience and reflect on the essence of a spiritual dimension which goes over and above the worldly plane.
