Movie Picture

#5 1994 (7.2)

Continuously modulating between animations with long exposures and snapshots enlarged across many film frames, #5 explores the relationship between image and time on the film strip. The images were made using very non-virtual, simple reflecting materials and can be regarded as action painting with light.

Joost Rekveld's first film is an hommage to the way daylight changes colour during the course of the day and links this to how film is a medium that captures and radiates light. Until 2013, this was the only film for which Rekveld also composed the soundtrack.
