Peter Hutton's cinema captures the mystery of the cinema's opening onto the world, with exquisite images of landscape as well as the everyday events of light, shadow and form on a variety of scales. His images reveal dimensions of the visual world that ordinary seeing might miss, with a patient and perfect framing,an awareness of the power of small movements, and a sense of the nearly invisible dramas of the cosmos slowly rendered visible. Beauty dwells in Hutton's films with the insistence and necessity that only a transformation of vision can offer.
Made in Iceland and on the Hudson River, Skagafjordur is meticulously composed film which draws on the traditions of 19th-century landscape painting and still photography. (Hutton, 2004, 16mm film print, 33 minutes)
