Após fazer diversos filmes sobre dança (sua primeira vocação), a cineasta nova-iorquina Shirley Clarke foi convidada para realizar uma série de curtas-metragens sobre o estilo de vida de seu país para o Pavilhão Americano da Feira Mundial de Bruxelas, em 1958. Carrossel de Pontes nasceu dos materiais descartados desse projeto, e, diferentemente do original - de natureza narrativa -, as imagens sobrepostas neste filme experimental exprimem a concretude dos objetos que retratam, as pontes que cruzam o rio Hudson em Nova York. A música envolve e suaviza a rigidez geométrica das construções de ferro e concreto, que contrastam com a fluidez do rio. Clarke fez duas versões do filme: uma com trilha sonora dos compositores pioneiros da música eletrônica Louis e Bebe Barron; outra, com trilha do compositor, produtor e saxofonista de jazz Teo Macero.

Begone Dull Care shines with his masterful use of scratching and painting on film stock. In Begone Dull Care, McLaren adds complexity to Lye’s compositions, emphasising sound/visual synchronisation and generating depth on his mobile canvas. The film gives warmth and movement to compositions resembling a constantly morphing Jackson Pollock painting, yet never fails to remind us of its very calculated aesthetics when it suddenly adapts to the score’s slower movements and shifts from expressionistic and oversaturated explosions to minimalist vertical lines that vibrate accordingly to Oscar Peterson’s piano.
