In a new edition of the ancien Buddhist ritual journeys, Xuanzang, the 7th century monk celebrated for his rigor and his 17 year quest for vacuity on the roads of Asia, wanders through the streets of Marseille.
”With this injunction in mind, ”Journey to the West” is preceded by Margaret Honda's awesome “Spectrum Reverse Spectrum”, a silent, camera-less colour-field film created and exhibited on 70mm. A maximalist expression of minimalism reminiscent of James Turrell's light sculptures, Honda's immersive, epically scaled work is both abstract and strangely affecting, especially as a collective viewing experience.” – Andréa Picard, Toronto FF
