A Film of Real Time: A Light-Sound Environment
Short Film (Full Length) – 1971
The film captures the ripple and sway of the exhibition, the buzz of neon light and the rhythmic clank of machinery. Children run, giggling, through this fantastic playground. Shadowy figures emerge from the maze of light, with faces illuminated by red and blue neon.– The Govett-Brewster Art Gallery website, on Leon Narbey's exhibition Real Time
[Leon Narbey] began simply to document these [art gallery] installations: but soon realised that the film medium, being based on light, created possibilities of its own. Room One, Room Two and A Film of Real Time, composed of images of people moving through complex environments, showed Narbey developing a rhythmic editing style.– Film historian Roger Horrocks on Leon Narbey's first short films, in Art New Zealand, Winter 1982
