QR CODE / FILM [#2] by Antoni Pinent
3' 30'' / 2018 / Italy / 16mm / exp-animation / silent
Base / Source: Plate 40, 1879. Eadweard Muybridge
It has always been understood that the secret of movement lies in the decomposition of time. Aristotle was convinced that the horse in his gallop never rises completely from the ground.
Only in the 1870s, Eadweard Muybridge, using a series of photographic devices operated by cables, observed the famous horse Phryne L. to reach, through the dissection of time, to understand its mystery: in an instant it is suspended in the air.
QR CODE / FILM [#2] focuses on slicing time to penetrate its nature. As did the physics of the s. XX., The film-essay proposes an anatomical study of time: the montage, as in an autopsy, de-constructs the movement making emerge what we do not see and that only the magic of the whole of the work can show us -both static exposed inside of a Light Box / Plexiglass, as in motion induced by film projection-.

Gibraltar Point (transformed) by Penny McCann
6' 07'' / 2017/ Canada / 16mm / exp
