More InformationOn occasion of opening of Starlit Waters exhibition, Bruce McLEAN and some art students are seen in a disused warehouse in Liverpool with Falling Warrior, 1956-1957 bronze on loan from the Walker Art Gallery. A photograph is seen of McLean's performance piece based on the Warrior twenty years previously. McLean and the camera explore the bronze from all angles and distances, and still photographs are taken. The plinth is discussed in relation to other 'furniture', and the Warrior is viewed against different coloured screens. When the bronze had to be returned to the Walker Art Gallery, a slide of it was projected on the different coloured screens. Celebration edited by David BOULTON. Production Phil GRIFFIN, Rachel HEBDITCH. Camera Jon Woods.
