When Louisa and I lived in San Francisco in the mid-70s, we used to drive up to visit Gunvor in her bungalow in the woods above Sausalito. It was a real-life fairyland setting where she was raising her pre-teen, Oona. While in SF, Louisa and I bought from her a clean 16mm print of her gorgeous B/W film of Oona and her horse/pony riding the wind and fog, Oona chanting endlessly on the soundtrack, "My Name is Ooooooona, My Name is Ooooooona......" as if in a Steve Reich or Robert Ashley chant transposed. Gunvor had a metal plaque on her washing machine engraved with the label, "Guggenheim Memorial Washing Machine."

The town where she originally grew up.
