Description
"The screen, irradiated by Paul Sharits' N:O:T:H:I:N:G, seems to adopt a spherical form at times—due, I think, to the magnificent quality of light achieved by his flashing frames, a baroque pearl one might say—marvelous! One of the most beautiful films I have seen."
— Stan Brakhage
"The film takes you into a colored world, it heightens your sense of color, enriches it. You become attentive to the shifts in tonality that surround your daily reality. Your vision has changed. You begin to see the light on the objects around you. The range of your experiences has expanded. You now have a new understanding. You emerge humanly richer."
— Jonas Mekas
