A Square

Zbigniew Rybczyński / Poland / 1972 / Czech Premiere / 4 min.


synopsis

An in-depth, film analysis of a series of photographs depicting the human body in motion, which Rybczyński manually "digitised" by repeatedly photographing, dividing, and overlapping individual fields with white and black squares and later adding colour filters to depict a fierce dance in jazz rotation.
