Obelisk: Bunker to Beacon and Back (and admiration for Paul Rudolph's Mental Health Center)
Synopsis
A place is an obelisk, reaching to the sky; down again to a point in the ground. Not a solid point, but a hesitant, mysterious one (some say always shifting). Ripples of life arch out from its base in unexpected ways. The obelisk series is an informal collecting of time and place haphazardly documented by two perambulating filmmakers.
