Gyre

2010 · 10 min

A hypnotic, minimalist visual puzzle that slowly reveals its trick, rewarding patience with quiet architectural wonder.

Directed by
Björn Kämmerer
Overview
Luminous white, diamond-shaped forms glide from right to left across a jet-black plane in Cinemascope format. Minimal variations in their movement can be seen. The screen gradually lightens, and a roughly hewn wooden structure becomes visible. The light-colored rectangles turn out to be window openings of a log cabin with luminous white interior walls which is swiftly rotating on its axis. Subtle changes in the light and the camera´s distance and angle transform this presumably abstract animation into a concrete setup for a filmic and architectural experiment.
