\nwith Robert Beavers
\n<\/strong>Markopoulos\u2019 invocation of Eros merges classical and contemporary imagery by placing the male god of love in an artists\u2019 loft. The sole protagonist, predominantly naked, appears in a series of tableaux surrounded by icons of creativity, including paintings, books and filmmaking equipment. This sculptural study of the human form is energised by flash frames, stylised fades, and Strauss\u2019 tone-poem \u2018Ein Heldenleben\u2019. Eros is portrayed by the young filmmaker Robert Beavers, who had recently moved to New York after seeing films by Markopoulos and other New American Cinema pioneers. Both soon left America for Europe, where they remained together until Markopoulos\u2019 death in 1992.<\/p>\n
