There’s excitement in a small mountain village in the Tyrol: The mountain climbers Margit Sollerer and Wolf Pretorius, who’ve already conquered so many difficult peaks, have arrived to climb the 'Pillar'. Especially difficult about the 'Pillar' is an extreme overhang, which even Hias Holleis’ sons Toni and Franz haven’t been able to climb. Since Hias wants to prevent his village becoming the laughing stock of Tyrol -which no doubt will be the case if the strangers are able to climb what the locals can’t- he dares both his sons to try the climb again.

Last year readers of the underground press were invited to send $5.50 for a 50-foot full color 8mm film that promised to reproduce for the first time "the phenomenon of psychedelic perception." What they received was three minutes' worth of a nude dancing girl so obscured by an ever-changing kaleidoscope of patterns that it didn't matter whether she had clothes on or not. (Not only did this picture, called "Voyage Omega," end up at army posts but also in public libraries of New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Currently it's being incorporated into the light show preceding the local production of "The Beard.") - Kevin Thomas, the LA Times, 02/25/68

Shot in Manhattan over a period of several years, the main theme of “Crowds” is contained in its two sole subtitles: “Crowds besmirch our city streets” and “Certain elements make Crowds visually tolerable.” I tried to capture the grotesque and the beautiful - following people and incidents relentlessly.
