Quote:
"Similar to her earlier works, [in Solidarity] [Joyce] Wieland selects a series of details seen isolated from any depth-of-field and seen so closely that colours, textures and shapes become interesting features in and of themselves. [...] The often shaky hand-held camera offers an identifiable subjective point of view of someone in the crowd, the filmmaker, watching people's feet."
-- Lauren Rabinovitz
