Snip, Snip

1968 · 2 min

A brief, abstract experiment in scale and texture that rewards close looking more than it offers any story.

Overview
This film has two parts. In the first part, the film material is on 8mm uncut film, so that in the 16mm projection a 4-fold film can be seen. In the second part of the film, the 16mm film is shown in full size, that means the picture is now enlarged four times its size. I drew over the film after the fact, and abstracted it in many different ways. (E.S.jr.)
