Four Seasons

director: Michael Bielický

original title: Four Seasons

year: 1984

running time: 3 min.

synopsis

One of Bielický’s first videos, filmed during his studies in Düsseldorf. The recording of spontaneously occurring situations was shot in the studio on Double Super 8 film. However, with its subsequent conversion to video, we watch an unbroken film strip. This creates a new type of spatial communication between the individual frames of film and the action in them.
