\nLondon Tate Modern<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Early Monthly Segments<\/em>, filmed when Beavers was 18 and 19 years old, now forms the opening to his film cycle, \u201cMy Hand Outstretched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure.\u201d It is a highly stylized work of self-portraiture, depicting filmmaker and companion Gregory J. Markopoulos in their Swiss apartment. The film functions as a diary, capturing aspects of home life with precise attention to detail, documenting the familiar with great love and transforming objects and ordinary personal effects into a highly-charged work of homoeroticism. (Susan Oxtoby, Toronto International Film Festival)<\/p>\n
\nRobert Beavers, <\/strong>Plan of Brussels, 1968\/2000, 16mm, colour, sound, 21 min
\n<\/strong>Winged Dialogue<\/em> details with growing clarity the desperate beauty and sexuality of the body animated by its soul, essence blindly reaching out, touching, in brilliant patterns through and beyond those of the vanishing images, expressed vividly in the after-image on the mind, on the soul\u2019s eye. (Tom Chomont, a note on Winged Dialogue<\/em>)<\/p>\n
