Interrupted Line

1972 · 6 min

A hypnotic, cerebral experiment that turns a car ride into a meditation on time, perception and the moving image.

Directed by
Valie Export
Overview
"The middle line marking of the road is filmed through the windscreen of a moving car simultaneously with its own reflection in the driving mirror. The repeated interruptions of the space/time line are as big as a car. The car as a connecting link in time. The cinema as interruption of normal time flow.” – VALIE EXPORT
How it feels
Slow-burning and demanding.
