Entr'acte

1979 · 21 min

A slow, hypnotic art piece that feels like watching bodies turn into objects, strange and slightly unsettling.

Overview
Against the background of a white wall, Luyken films two performances. The images are interspersed with one another: a man and a woman are painted with white paint, while another couple is wrapped in paper and coloured with paint. The second part of the film also consists of a performance. This time, Luyken works with life-sized, cartoon-like fantasy figures. Eventually they are numbered and wrapped in white paper.
