Looks like Morgan Dusatko made rules that translates syllables as seconds in a shot. That’s an interesting translation of form.
WTC Haikus by Jonas Mekas I found on youtube. Truly beautiful. Loose on definition with haiku; maybe it’s just influenced by haiku, just to be thought of as poetry, which it is. I thought the film footage was better and more vibrant than the video in this piece, but it’s all a great montage. I will watch Lost Lost Lost. Looks like it’s on Amazon. Haha. Is it anywhere else? I see Imperfect Three Image Films is on Lightcone.com <http://lightcone.com/>. Three images, like three lines in a poem. I’ll try to get it soon. Pip, that’s a fun poem you have in memory: “On wet sidewalk A lonely bicycle wheel Locked to a tree” Very good, and it could be a film. -Chris > On Jan 23, 2021, at 4:32 PM, FrameWorks Admin <[email protected]> wrote: > > Jonas also made Fool’s Haikus and Rabbit Shit Haikus which were part of Lost > Lost Lost edited in 1976. > > His more recent Imperfect Three Image Films are haikus suggested by Julius > Ziz who proposed making films with only three images and edited together a > 45-minute program with films by Bruce Baillie, Jonas Mekas, Nicole Blachon, > Moira Tierney, Masaki Hosokawa, Auguste Varkalis, Vanessa Von Houten, Kurt > Karpenter, Stom Sogo, Ken Jacobs, Jeff Perkins, Julius Ziz. > > Incidentally sometimes when spending time together in a bar Jonas would > suggest we write haikus about something we saw during the day.
