A New Book

Zbigniew Rybczyński / Poland / 1975 / 10 min.


synopsis

In a simultaneous collage of static shots, a screen split into nine fields shows us fragments from the lives of several protagonists, focusing on the space between the bookstore, cafe, apartment, bench, subway, and bus. The soundtrack skilfully weaves snippets of dialogue together with double bass improvisation.

biography

Zbigniew Rybczyński (1949) compares his work to jazz music and describes it as improvisation with concepts, bodies, aesthetics, and technology. His playful, masterful films and videos are often at the forefront of technology and aesthetics.
