SABATIER. A director of the company gave his name to that coalmine, which is located near Raismes, a few miles away from Valenciennes, in the eastern part of the coal field of the Nord-Pas de Calais region. The mine was closed about ten years ago. What is left of it today ? Some fairly spoiled buildings, when you look at them closely, on which nature patiently grows back. If you care to enter the bank of the mine, you may visit several buildings, from the guard’s house, which is overgrown with ivy, to the sieve, changing-room (called « hangmen’s room ») and showers. But the most fascinating part is the large and bright mill, with its mining machines, control levers and dials. Everything is still there. When you come out, you get an urge to run around the pithead frames as if they were the Eiffel Tower or the towers of Notre-Dame. You steps resonate on the rusty metal staircase, and you end up high above the surrounding setting : the forest of Raismes-Saint-Amand is very close.

Today, Baselitz has become one of the most famous and praised contemporary artists.

Hey Bud begins with the suicide of Bud Dwyer, a government official who killed himself on television. Writes Zando: "I view the suicide as pornographic. The suicide, exposed to a wide television audience, becomes a kind of sex act that plays upon the tension created between exhibitionist and voyeur. It forces viewers to take either an empathetic position vis-a-vis the exhibitionist, or to act as voyeurs (who release their repressed desire to see the forbidden face of Death). My interest is to understand the power seated in the position of the exhibitionist, and to explore that source of power for my own personal drama. Bud Dwyer gained power by authoring his own death, but his power was fatal: the instant power is taken via exhibitionism, it is lost through death. This is the traditional power for women who must seek power via exhibitionism and exploitation — they gain power only through death-of-self."

Mostly shot in San Francisco and Northern California, material filmed (using the camera almost as a p[r/a]inter, a means of shaping the visual world as film, but without reflection) in response to what that world was opening in me. "Material!" - analogies between weaving and spinning thread and images already a pattern within film history (e.g., in Deren) is here carried into further ramifications of unraveling and patterning in fabric- and cinema-making, as well as in personal and mythic dimensions. The open unfolding structure, which pulls away from the balanced design of much of my work, gives equal weight to the sound composition. Involves "opening" with its perils and ambiguities.
