Love Shots (1971)
“Love Shots traces the overwhelming, colorful landscapes of Minnesota and Mexico: shots of lush, Mexican mountains and country roads are interspersed with Minnesotan lakes on a rainy day and aerial views of the city from a friend’s airplane. Downs also documents his family life; his wife, Anita, and daughter Lila appear throughout the 8-minute short. Distinguished by its frenetic pace—cutting sharply between saturated images and frequently showing scenes sped up to multiple times their normal pace—Love Shots also exhibits Downs’s fascination with conspicuous consumption, manifested in various images of advertising, shopping, and scenes from amusement parks.” —Ruth Hodgins, Walker Art Center
