How it feels
This is a 30-minute experimental film that reduces cinema to a single beam of light projected through smoke filled air. The light gradually forms a three dimensional cone shape that viewers can walk around and touch.

What happens
Line Describing a Cone is an avant-garde film produced in 1973 by artist Anthony McCall as part of his "solid light" film series. McCall's reduction of film to the essential properties of the medium resembles the work of other radical artists of his time, and has inspired various projects by artists such as Stan Douglas, Richard Serra, and Gordon Matta-Clark.
