Now You See It Now You Don't ()
Directed by Richard Foreman
Quite possibly Foreman’s strongest digital video, NOW YOU SEE IT NOW YOU DON’T brings together a variety of different elements, including excerpts from Foreman’s own public talks about his work, a 1984 sound recording of his French-language theatrical adaptation of Kathy Acker’s "My Life My Death by Pier Paolo Pasolini," text from Leo Charney’s book “Empty Moments: Cinema, Modernity, and Drift”, and music from John Zorn and John Cage. These materials are integrated into a typically dense and confounding aural, linguistic, and visual web, one that’s in many ways like a filmic analogue of his theater work. But NOW YOU SEE IT NOW YOU DON’T is distinguished by the addition of various kinds of image processing, a liberal and eccentric use of onscreen text, and an uncharacteristically personal, reflective tone
