Marbled Golden Eyes is the latest installment in Kevin Jerome Everson's extensive exploration of African American descents. This portrait of Maya Perry, a zoologist at the Detroit Zoo, adds to Everson's impressive body of work, which now spans over 100 films. Everson captures Perry at close range as she speaks passionately about returning toads back into the wild. The stark proximity and high contrast of the images create a near-abstract maze of bodily forms, while remaining firmly rooted in documentary approach. The film offers more glimpses of Perry's glasses, gloved hands, and light reflections than her face, resulting in a dazzlingly beautiful visual composition. This approach exemplifies Everson's signature style of finding new ways to think through detail and repetition. Marbled Golden Eyes is poised to join the growing list of Everson's masterpieces. His prolific output, likened to that of a machine gunner, continues to push the boundaries of documentary filmmaking.
