Watch Sean Scully: Passenger (1998) Official Trailer

In Passenger, Robert Gardner made what he calls “an observation in four movements.” The intent of the piece is to impart an experience of the engagement by Sean Scully with the work in question, an engagement which is both physical and emotional. The only sounds are those made by the artist as he works and, occasionally, musical passages from tapes Scully listens to while he is painting.
