This is so-so Glass ... ( 1 year ago by CocteauTwinsAddict)

This is so-so Glass...but the video is absolutely HORRIBLE...at first i thought it was a Schiller's Reel from SNL..it has that feel...but i would be shocked to learn Glass approved this in any way...I tend to think it's someone's horrible interpretation and the artist someone missed this or kindly looked the other way...

It's important to watch this video in the context of other videos of the time. I pulled this from a tape of other music videos of the time, and - in context - it's a very decent music video. It's a modern interpretation of Eadweard Muybridge's murder of his wife's lover, his trial and acquittal.

I had this LP, and I love the music. But this clip is just...terrible! Hehe. I mean, thank you for posting it, but I agree it´s hard to believe Glass aproved this.

The video may have seemed a lot better in 1982-83.

Thank you for sharing this. I've never seen it, and I've had the CD (and before that, the album) of the Photographer for many years. If you watch most of the music videos from that era, they're not all that sophisticated, and I think this tells the story of the Photographer in a context that more people can understand.

Thanks for posting this. I remember when it was new :-) Was listening to The Photographer recently, hadn't in years, and thought about this video. Funny, I remembered it as having the vocals. 1000 Airplanes addressed the fallibility of memory I guess! Thanks again, yes it's cheesy, but a rare find and a gem for Glass fans.

Great song, weird video.

In the days of lip ... ( 1 year ago by benovision)

In the days of lip sync (not over) and at the earliest edge of digital video editing (six computers to do a simple effect) this video was an amazing low budget success. Here was a radical concept... the video was telling the same story as the music! A bit of trivia.. MTV refused to air this video, saying it was "too bloody". Watch it carefully... no blood anywhere!

All that white hair. ( 1 year ago by Cosmoline)

All that white hair.

The video makes ... ( 1 year ago by radudragusin)

The video makes perfect sense! The song is from an opera (The Photographer) composed by Philip Glass in 1982. The story behind the opera (and the present clip for that matter) is the one behind the life of photography pioneer Eadweard Muybridge who discovered that his wife had a lover and as a consequence killed him. He was later acquitted as the murder was considered "justifiable homicide".
More info on Wikipedia at "Eadweard Muybridge" and "The Photographer".

thanks for posting. ... ( 1 year ago by doomcontrol)

thanks for posting. The photographer has always been one of my favorite glass pieces. I had no idea they ever made such a laughably psychotronic piece of dreck as this video, but still, it's more street cred for Phil for being involved in this "edgy" trash. God I hate seing the nude flesh of new yorkers, they're so pale and disgusting, especially in the 80's when they suffered from oppressive hair styles.

Ha ha ha...Yeah, really! I love Philip Glass' music. But this video is so terrible in so many ways. Thank you for posting.

I have the CD, and didn't realize there was a video. This certainly is no Koyaaniqatsi. Someone should try making another video with this music and Muybridge.

As a previous ... ( 7 months ago by ringworld)

As a previous comment says, this video is based on truth in Muybriges life, he did find out his wife was having an affair, he did go to the gentleman in question, told him here is the answer to your love letters to my wife, and shot hi. He was let go as it was "justifiable Homicide", and even though there was doubt whethe the son born was his, he raised and loved him as hi own.
So to answer your query, Philip Glass made a video that followed the story of the song.
