Windmill
II
1973,
8 min, colour, silent, 16mm |
|
The camera films a park landscape through the blades of a
small, hand-built windmill. Each of the eight blades was covered
in Melanex (mirrored fabric). The film was shot on a windy day
in the park, with three 100-foot takes being shot on the same
day. The camera angle remained the same throughout. Variations
in wind speed and direction cause a constantly shifting relationship
between the landscape in front of the camera, as seen between
the blades of the windmill, and the reflection of the camera
with the landscape behind it. The rhythm of this movement between
foreground and background is created by variations in the strength
and direction of the wind. |
