A selection of films by avant-garde legend Jordan Belson, whose spectacular, mystical abstractions explored layers of consciousness, translating inner states into pure sound and light. "Intuition is the basis of my aesthetic judgment," he said of his work. "The more you allow intuition to speak to you, the closer you are to the truth, and the origins of the universe."
