10. Bruce Bickford, CAS’L’, 10:00 excerpt from 46min film (2011)
CAS’L’ is an elusive place usually found only accidentally, though it is sometimes obvious. It has manifold manifestations in its many levels above and below ground. The animation for CAS’L’ started in 1988 and was finished in 1997. It has only recently been completed with an audio track.
