Overview

By using simple systems of counting and measuring in film, Iimura has drawn attention to the complexities of our time perception – memory, rhythm, phase – and the interaction between coucious conception of time, and the physical perception of its passing. Iimura is a significant and singular filmmaker, but also one of the most important 'conceptual' artist working in any medium. – Malcolm Le Grice, Time Out, April 1975, London
