Collected as part of the Fluxfilm Anthology (a multi-reel compendium of 37 short films assembled by Fluxus founder and central operator George Maciunas), One captures the lifespan of a single match recorded at 2,000 frames per second using a 16mm high-speed camera. The frame rate is then decelerated to the standard 24fps for presentation. The film emphasizes each gesture, sway and flare of flame as the small pinewood carrier ignites across the landscape of the filmstrip and screen, signalling the drama and poetics of this "minor" event before the fire is extinguished. One also stands as an unassuming beacon, immortalizing on film the essence of some of Ono's early concerns as an artist. At the slightest touch of fire, they burst into flame. Strike everywhere. Strike often.
