It's really a bad news.
I remember when I saw *Charmed Particles* for the first time. A true
fascinating film on the reality of light and the flesh illusory. More
recently, his film *Imaginary Light *explored another field for light
(moving abstraction).
A true underestimate artist.

Interestingly I saw the LFMC print of Kodak Ghost Poems as a student at
Maidstone college of art in the early 1970s, it was in good condition then.
I’ve not forgotten it (obviously).

Thanks for this, Rise. It’s good to know Kodak was civilized. Maybe this
information is in Scott’s interview with Andrew, but if not, it is now a matter
of record. Of the many life-works of artists’ cinema that deserve restoration
and wide recognition, Andrew’s certainly ranks among the very bes
Dear Gene,
To clarify the record, Eastman Kodak did send Andrew a letter in late 1973
or early 1974, which very politely requested that he change the title of
Part I, since Kodak was a protected trademark. I still remember when we
received the letter, which is in our files, and there was a small
There’s no particular point to this except the memory of when Kodak threatened
to sue Andrew and he changed the name of his work to Adventures of the
Exquisite Corpse. Now there’s two corpses and two ghosts, each haunting a
different world I guess...

I viewed the three titles at the NYPL just last year and can attest that
all the prints are in great shape. Now if there were only viewing copies of
Kodak Ghost Poems/Huge Pupils, but it's good to hear there's a print of
Wind Variations in Berlin!

I had the pleasure of meeting Andrew many years ago at a film exhibition

and we had some great conversations.

Yes Noren was indeed considered an expert on 20th Century news footage and
certainly knew his way around an archive. There is also a story however of
him dropping by Anthology Film Archives, sometime well into the 21st
century I think, to inspect his films—which were permanently archived
there—and,
Two years ago I was able to watch a copy of his film Charmed Particles at the
New York Public Library (image attached).Researching their catalogue it seems
they own three parts of The Adventures of The Exquisite Corps on 16 mm
copies:Charmed Particles, Imaginary Light and The Lighted
Field.http
The fact that Noren was an archivist by trade gives hope to the fact that
his elements are probably thoughtfully stored somewhere (at least the ones
that weren't destroyed in an early fire, if I remember correctly) and
would be eventually available for preservation.

Do you know about the availability of his films for screening in any format? I
