Art does not seek to describe but to enact. —Charles Olson


Remembering Kristi Elkins (August 10, 1970—July 24, 2024)

She is made one with Nature: there is heard
Her voice in all Her music, from the moan
Of thunder, to the song of night’s sweet bird;
She is a presence to be felt and known
In darkness and light, from herb and stone,
Spreading itself where’er that Power may move
Which has withdrawn her being to its own;
Which wields the world with never-wearied love,
Sustains it from beneath, and kindles it above.

In Memoriam Danièle Huillet (May 1, 1936–October 9, 2006)

With Jean-Marie Straub, Danièle Huillet made some of the most beautiful and challenging of all films: films resolutely open to the radiance of the real, profoundly ethical, responsible to and extending the best in Western culture. Poto would like to pay tribute to these great artists—to Huillet’s memory, to Straub’s continuing, to their enduring work.
