Throughout her career, many of Barbara Hammer’s more visually ecstatic works reveal a psychedelic thread running through her filmography, from her 1968 debut Schizy, to one of her final works on 16mm, Generations (made with Joey Carducci). Using various technical and formal approaches including time lapse, optical printing, animation, and digital image manipulation, Hammer has regularly embraced the presence and physicality of film to deeply mine the rapture of subjective vision.
