Two turns [videorecording] / Terry Fox. [1975]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/123943581

To make Two turns, Terry Fox scratched the lines of the Chartres Cathedral labyrinth onto a blackened plate of glass. He repeatedly shined the beam of a slide projector through the glass labyrinth at the videocamera lens until the pattern was burned onto the camera's vidicon tube. The labyrinth image is thus superimposed on all subsequent footage, with more or less definition depending on the light value of the background. The tape is divided into two parts, one shot in daylight, the other at night. In each, the camera points downward and records a descent down stairs, a walk outside, and a return to the starting point.
