While Jan Lenica was a visiting artist at Harvard's Film Study Center,
Richard Rogers wanted to make a portrait of the master graphic
designer and animator in action. Rogers structures his film much like
his subject might, in funny fits and starts, with slightly ominous,
minimalist shots interrupted by artfully composed, off-kilter
perspectives and an underlying mystery and irreverent humor. When a
solemn Lenica admits to having "no working method" and trusting visual
information over language, Rogers responds with a close examination of
Lenica calmly engaged at the animation stand and, later, with an
experimental cut-up audio track of Lenica's terse aphorisms. After
witnessing Lenica drawing, painting and shooting segments of his film
Landscape in his Carpenter Center studio, Rogers brings that work to
life so the audience can immediately witness the magical results of
Lenica's understated undertaking.
