New York Portrait, Chapter III
1990 Β· β 8.3
"[Huttonβs] latest urban film, New York Portrait, Chapter III, takes on a unique tone in relation to Huttonβs ongoing exploration of rural landscape. The very fact that Hutton is dealing with older footage, with archives of memory more than immediacy, gives it a different texture than his earlier New York films. Hutton always found the presence of nature in the city, not only in his many shots of sky and vegetation, but also in the geometry and texture of the city itself, which seemed to project an independence from the human."
