Annet Gelinks Bakery is showing New York artist Bradley Pitts’ (1978) 16mm film One Roll of Weightlesness.

Pitts is currently participating in the residential program of Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. He graduated from MIT in Boston, where he studied simultaneously Aeronautics and Astronautics and visual arts, and where, he did projects with Joan Jonas (USA 1936). After having worked for NASA, Pitts decided to apply himself to the visual arts and went to Amsterdam.

One Roll of Weightlessness follows Pitts, seen from behind, walking through Amsterdam. During Pitts’ walk through the city the shutter of the camera is steered by a sensor and responds to the moments of
weightlessness at the highest point of his steps. That results in a unique registration of an undiscovered phenomenon. A film that makes visible the invisible in a fascinating way.
