THE MANDALA CYCLE
The Mandala Cycle
dir. Peter Donebauer, 1991
United Kingdom, 40 min
Peter Donebauer’s most recent cycle to date revolves around the symbol of the mandala, and is designed to stimulate a “centering” of consciousness. Working with predetermined imagery, Donebauer subjected each part of his cycle to a myriad of technological interventions, resulting in a video that fluidly transforms before the viewer’s eyes. The video proved so relaxing that it became popular among ravers in London, who’d often watch it during the come-down of a long night out.
