The poetry is in the shuffle of materials, a poetry of revelation; literally Bitomsky sitting at a desk looking and speaking about photos of films, documentary material, with TV monitors and tapes of films being handed back and forth, popped in, “checked” – a kind of rotating poetic/pedagogy. –Girish Shambu
