John Lennon and Yoko Ono - Erection

Erection, unlike Self Portrait, has nothing to do with John's phallus. It is a 19-minute film showing the gradual construction of the International Hotel at 147 Cromwell Road in London. A stills camera had been placed in a set position and shots were taken over a period of eighteen months. When the film is shown, the building seems to arise before the viewers' eyes.
